While many people with peripheral artery disease have mild or no symptoms, some people will experience symptoms. Whatever stage your PAD is found, consulting with our specialists can improve your condition. Fortunately, when found early, PAD is very manageable. That's why proper screening is important. People with PAD are at higher risk for heart attack, stroke, leg amputation, and other serious health issues. When you develop peripheral artery disease (PAD), your extremities - usually your legs - don't receive enough blood flow to keep up with demand. These fatty deposits narrow the openings of the arteries and reduce blood flow to the limbs. PAD commonly occurs when fatty deposits build up in the arteries, most often in the legs and feet. Rebecca Van Zanen, a PA-C from Corewell Health, formerly Spectrum Health, explains who is at risk for PAD and how you can get a free screening. Left untreated, it can lead to serious problems and tissue damage.
Peripheral Artery Disease is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs. All opinions and views are of the advertiser and do not reflect the same of Fox 17.
