USA Vascular Centers’ efforts to help the public during PAD Awareness Month by offering risk assessments for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) throughout September was highlighted in an article distributed by AP News.
PAD is a serious condition that affects millions of Americans, often without their knowledge. It occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries, restricting blood flow to the limbs and vital organs. If left untreated, PAD can lead to serious health complications such as heart attack, stroke, and even amputation. However, with early detection and proper treatment, the progression of PAD can be slowed or even reversed.
In an effort to raise awareness and promote early detection, USA Vascular Centers is offering risk assessments at all of their locations nationwide. These assessments include a comprehensive evaluation of a patient’s medical history, lifestyle factors, and physical exam to determine their risk for PAD. If necessary, patients will also have access to state-of-the-art diagnostic testing and personalized treatment plans.
“Early detection is crucial in managing PAD and preventing serious complications. We are committed to providing accessible and high-quality care to all individuals at risk for PAD.”— Dr. Yan Katsnelson, Founder of USA Vascular Centers.
