Peripheral Vascular Disease Screenings
Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a serious condition that affects millions of Americans—often without their knowledge. Peripheral vascular disease can occur as a result of a narrowing of the blood vessels outside the heart that can reduce or stop blood flow. The most common type is peripheral artery disease—usually occuring in the legs—causing them to hurt or feel numb.PVD is often a sign that patients also have narrowed arteries in the heart and brain, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Early detection for PVD is essential.
