ARTERY DISEASE RAISES RISK FOR HEART ATTACK, STROKE

It can strike while you’re walking or climbing stairs—painful cramping in your calf, thigh or buttock. You stop for a few moments, and the pain goes away. Those symptoms could indicate a serious condition called Peripheral Arterial Disease (P.A.D.). It develops when your leg arteries become clogged with fatty plaque. P.A.D. is a warning that arteries in your heart and brain might also be clogged, increasing your risk of a heart attack or stroke.

Come hear a board-certified interventional cardiologist describe the latest approaches for diagnosing and treating P.A.D.
