About PAD:
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a disease in which plaque or fatty deposits build up in the leg arteries limiting blood flow. Published studies have shown that persons with PAD are four times more likely to die of heart attack, and two-three times more likely to die of stroke, yet more than 50% of people with the disease are undiagnosed. Preventative healthcare like cessation of tobacco smoking and regular exercise may lower the risks associated with PAD.
