Peripheral Artery Disease: Part 1

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a chronic circulatory condition, which, if not treated, can lead to limb amputations. PAD affects nearly 20 million Americans. An estimated 200,000 people, disproportionately from minority communities, suffer avoidable amputations every year. Dr. Scott Cameron, Section Head for Vascular Medicine at Cleveland Clinic, hosts a 2-part, multidisciplinary panel discussion. Drs. Luke Laffin, Teresa Wu, Aravinda Nanjundappa, and Jon Quatromoni share their thoughts as experts in their fields. Part 1 highlights screening and testing, diagnosis and when to operate.
