When it happens it can result in severe leg pain. Risk factors include among others: smoking and diabetes. When it happens, it also means that the affected person has a similar process in the arteries leading to other organs, such as the brain and the heart. When it exist, it increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and death. We launched an initiative, in accordance with recommendations from experts like the American Heart Association, to diagnose PAD early   When discovered early there are many treatment options that can save the legs and life. We have a team of technicians and specialists to assist in diagnosing and treating PAD.  About one in five patients with PAD will have a major cardiovascular event within a year (stroke, heart attack or death). Even patients with asymptomatic PAD are at a major risk. Patients who are smokers or have conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure are at risk for asymptomatic PAD.  Have your limbs checked for PAD today. Call us to schedule an appointment.
