Peripheral Artery Disease Awareness Month
This image is a sharable graphic promoting Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Awareness Month. PAD is a relatively unknown disease, which is a surprise considering how prevalent it is.
Risk factors for PAD include: Increased age, smoking, diabetes, and hypertension, among other things. PAD can also lead to amputation. This is because the reduction in blood flow to the lower limbs can make it so that wounds do not heal quickly or efficiently. If the wound becomes infected it can eventually lead to amputation if untreated.
