Peripheral arterial disease, commonly known as PAD, is the narrowing and blockage of arteries that reduce the blood flow from the heart to one’s legs. The reduced blood flow is the reason for severe pain that may lead to claudication. To diagnose peripheral arterial disease, your doctor or your healthcare provider will examine you physically […]
Minimally invasive surgery ensures operating a patient in a manner that grants no damage to the body with lesser pain and early recovery. A way of healing rapidly with less complication, time spent in hospital, and incisions or several cuts is achieved through such surgeries. Unlike traditional surgeries, where surgeons make a significant cut that […]
Health problems are a serious concern for ageing people, as different bodily and mental issues can occur with various severities in most of the elderly population. Multiple reasons might be why a person slows down or gets into a hibernation state when he reaches a certain age. Mental worries, body injuries, pain, obesity, and poor […]
Peripheral arterial disease is when the arteries start narrowing due to fatty deposits. PAD results in reduced blood flow. Arteries get less blood than usual. PAD mostly occurs in people over 65 with other comorbid diseases, i.e., diabetes, high cholesterol, or obesity. It is also common among people who smoke. Life expectancy with PAD becomes […]
The peripheral arterial disease can occur in the lower extremities and legs because the vessels get blocked or narrowed. Therefore, the overall blood flow to the lower body. PAD occurs mainly because of the accumulation of fatty plaque inside the vessels. PAD can have an impact on all types of blood vessels. Blood flow into […]
A terminal disease or illness may be explained as a condition that cannot be cured and will lead to death. It is a life-threatening disease. However, if we talk about peripheral arterial disease, it is not an immediately life-harming or life-threatening disease, but the process may lead to fatal problems. However, some people have questions […]
Approximately 20% of the population above the age of 55 has been predicted to be a potential target of Peripheral arterial disease. It is a potent predictor of heart strokes, myocardial infarctions, and even death. Certain medications and procedures can be adopted to prevent and treat further complications and underlying causes of PAD. Let us […]
When your arteries become narrower, they cause a condition, namely peripheral arterial disease. PAD may block blood flow through these arteries, decreasing the blood flow and damaging the nerves and other tissues. Atherosclerosis is when fatty material, i.e., plaque, gets built in the walls of your arteries, making them narrower. PAD also causes the arteries […]
A very common condition of fatty acids accumulating in the arteries restricting the blood supply to the legs has been a cause of leg pain in about 60% of the people of New Jersey. This disease is known as Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). Under such circumstances, it is crucial to be aware of the statistical […]
A severe stage of peripheral artery disease is called critical limb ischemia, which is signified as an extreme blockage in the arteries of the lower extremities, i.e., the arms, legs, and feet, which reduces blood flow. Such a chronic condition will lead to severe pain in the feet and toes, even if you are resting. […]
