Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening Video Transcript:

Peripheral Arterial Disease is commonly referred to as “PAD” or hardening of the arteries.   It is caused by plaque buildup in the arms and legs which may become serious if undetected because you are 4 – 5 times more likely to die of heart disease if you have peripheral arterial disease.  Fortunately this condition can be detected early through the use of pressure cuffs applied to the arms and legs.  This painless screening will provide results that you can give to your personal physician for follow up care.
