Back to the topic. Peripheral Artery Disease. For patients over 50, PAD can be somewhat detrimental if left untreated or unknown. In some worst-case scenarios can even cause amputation. One reason screening for PAD can be so important is because patients suffereing from PAD are at a 6-7 times greater risk for coronary artery disease, stroke, and heart attack.

What exactly is PAD?

When plaque builds up on the inside of the arteries that carries blood from the heart to legs and feet a process called artherosclerosis can happen. This plaque causes the arteries to narrow and harden, which significantly reduces the blood flow.

What are the Symptoms?

• Heavy Feet
• Cold Feet
• Tingling legs
• Foot Sores
• Leg Pain

If you suffer from these symptoms and think you need to screen for PAD talk with your doctor or give the leading Dallas professionals at MTV IR a call at 469-458-9800.

The next free PAD screening session at The Branch Connection will be Thursday Sept. 9th.
