Free PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease) Screening Offered by Abrazo Health Care March 2, 2012

Abrazo Healthcare is offering a free Peripheral Arterial Disease screening at the Phoenix Baptist Hospital. This screening can determine any risk of heart attack and /or stroke. Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) affects between 8 and 12 million Americans. Individuals who suffer from chronic leg cramping or numbness that causes pain even when walking short distances are highly encouraged to take advantage of this free screening.

Patients with PAD have an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. This can also be a warning sign of other cardiovascular problems. This condition is occurs when arteries in the legs become clogged with plaque and reduces blood flow typically to the legs and feet, but can also reach other vital organs.
