Peripheral Arterial Disease (P.A.D.) is a serious circulatory
problem in which the blood vessels that carry blood to your arms,
legs, brain, or kidneys, become narrowed or clogged. It
affects over 8 million Americans, most over the age of 50. It
may result in leg discomfort with walking, poor healing of leg
sores/ulcers, difficult to control blood pressure, or symptoms of
stroke. People with P.A.D. are at significantly increased
risk for stroke and heart attack. Answers to these questions
will determine if you are at risk for P.A.D. and if a vascular exam
will help us better assess your vascular health status.
