Did you know that 1 in every 3 people over age 50 with diabetes likely has peripheral artery disease (PAD)?

Diabetes is a risk factor for PAD. Patients with PAD have an increased risk of a heart attack or stroke. Treatments can range from simple lifestyle changes to compression stockings to minimally invasive procedures. If left untreated, PAD can lead to Critical Limb Ischemia and potential limb amputation.

How Is Critical Limb Ischemia Diagnosed?
CLI is commonly diagnosed in one of two ways: an Ankle Brachial Index or Angiography.

Ankle Brachial Index: This test compares the blood pressure in your ankle of the suspected leg with the blood pressure in your arm. A significant difference in the two pressures might indicate a blockage exists somewhere in the leg.

Angiography: For this test, the doctor uses x-ray and dye injected through an IV to examine blood flow and look for blockages.
