Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Screening
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Screening
Check Your Circulation. Know More About Your Vascular Health.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a common vascular condition that occurs when arteries supplying blood to the legs and feet become narrowed or affected by plaque buildup. Reduced blood flow can affect circulation and, in some people, may contribute to symptoms such as leg discomfort, cramping, fatigue, or pain during physical activity.
PAD is also considered an important indicator of overall vascular health. Because plaque buildup can affect arteries throughout the body, the presence of PAD may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease elsewhere in the circulatory system.
What Does a PAD Screening Do?
Fact DNA's Peripheral Artery Disease Screening is designed to assess blood flow and identify findings that may be consistent with reduced circulation in the legs.
The screening can provide valuable information to discuss with your healthcare provider, particularly if you have risk factors or symptoms associated with circulation problems.
Who May Benefit From PAD Screening?
Peripheral artery disease becomes more common with age, and certain factors can increase risk, including:
- Diabetes
- Current or previous tobacco use
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Family history of cardiovascular disease
- Increasing age
- History of cardiovascular disease
You don't have to wait for noticeable symptoms to become informed about your vascular health.
Why Vascular Screening Matters
PAD can sometimes occur with few or no obvious symptoms, which is one reason understanding your cardiovascular and vascular health can be important.
Fact DNA includes PAD screening as part of our broader Heart & Stroke Risk Screening, allowing you to evaluate multiple aspects of cardiovascular health rather than focusing on a single risk factor.
