If left untreated, PAD could result in amputation, stroke, and even death.
PAD affects 1 in 20 adults over age 50. That rises to 1 in 5 for people over age 65. But age isn’t the only factor that can increase your risk for this silent and potentially limb- and life-threatening disease. In fact, you may already have symptoms of PAD and not know it.

Many times, the symptoms of PAD are mistaken for symptoms of other conditions, even by doctors. For this reason, and because of the serious consequences of PAD, it’s critically important to either rule it out or detect and treat it.
Leg fatigue while walking
Mild to severe leg pain, especially after walking
Leg cramping at night
Numbness or tingling
Lower-extremity sores that don’t heal
Changes in the appearance of your legs
Peripheral Artery Disease, the narrowing of peripheral arteries due to plaque buildup, is a significant health risk that often goes undetected, undiagnosed and untreated. Worse, its consequences include functional impairment, nerve damage, non-healing wounds, disability and limb amputation.
PAD is detectable and treatable…if you get screened in time.
PAD is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart attack, and cardiovascular death. Screening can also lead to diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease that could save your life.
