Vascular Screening (PAD)
Are you at risk for Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)?
Symptoms of PAD include discomfort in your legs when you walk, pain in
your feet at night or difficult to heal sores on your feet, particularly
if you have diabetes. Individuals with PAD have five times the risk of
a heart attack or stroke and three times the likelihood of death.
Don't put yourself at risk, because the good news is that PAD can be
treated by making lifestyle changes, taking medicines and, if needed,
having special procedures. And, with an early diagnosis and proper treatment,
you can live well with PAD.
Take this easy quiz to find out if you are at risk and find out how you can obtain a
free PAD Screening.
