When it comes to clogged arteries, your legs are no safer than your heart. This incisive clinical program raises awareness of peripheral artery disease, a very dangerous and often misdiagnosed vascular ailment. Doctors from Lenox Hill Hospital and Temple University Hospital explain the physiology of the disease and identify its most common risk factors, symptoms, diagnostic testing, and methods of treatment. They also stress the crucial need for early detection, citing that only one quarter of the 12 million Americans who have the disease are aware that their symptoms are PAD-induced. An informative and alarming learning resource.
