June is Men’s Health Awareness Month. PAD affects both men and women equally, but often men take more time before seeing a doctor. Knowing the symptoms of peripheral artery disease as well as your risk factors (high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, a history of smoking) enables you to take action earlier. The earlier PAD is diagnosed, the more options for management and treatment are available to the patient. If you are over 50 with risk factors and/or symptoms of PAD, make an appointment for a vascular screening.
