September is Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) awareness month! TCAVI would like to take this time and shed some light on what PADs is and how to spot the signs of the chronic disease early. PADs is the narrowing or blockage of the vessels that carry blood from the heart to the extremities. This can lead to less blood flow to parts of your body and result in life threatening complications if left untreated. The American Heart Association has a set of simple questions to ask yourself to see if you might be at risk of developing PADs. Keep your answers to these questions in mind next time you talk with your doctor!
