The CDC estimates that around 6.5 million Americans over the age of 40 live with peripheral artery disease, or PAD.1 PAD is a condition marked by plaque buildup in the arteries leading to the lower extremities. If you smoke, have diabetes, struggle with high blood pressure, or battle high cholesterol, your risk of having PAD increases. 

One of the most common symptoms of PAD is cramping in the legs while walking or climbing stairs. This is known as intermittent claudication. The pain indicates that the leg muscles are struggling to receive enough oxygenated blood due to narrowed arteries. 

If you notice that you can’t walk for more than five minutes without suffering from leg cramps, you may need to undergo a PAD screening. Other symptoms of PAD include slowed leg hair growth, wounds that take longer than three weeks to heal or don’t heal at all, and persistent numbness or tingling in the legs. Left untreated, PAD can put you at risk for significant health problems, including heart attack, stroke, and amputation. 

The good news is that with treatment, you can manage your PAD diagnosis. At USA Vascular Centers’ Fort Worth location, our board-certified vascular doctors can expertly diagnose and treat peripheral artery disease. Our doctors perform minimally invasive treatments designed to widen blocked arteries, allowing blood to flow more freely through the vascular system.
