  1. The Hidden Dangers of Peripheral Arterial Disease Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) often lurks unnoticed, overshadowed by more commonly discussed health issues. Yet, its impact on the circulatory system and overall health is profound. Dr. Sumit Kapadia, a renowned name in vascular health, delves into the hidden dangers and lesser-known symptoms of this disease. Understanding PAD PAD is a condition marked by the narrowing of arteries in the legs due to atherosclerosis. This plaque buildup hampers blood flow, leading to a range of symptoms. While leg pain during physical activities is a known symptom, PAD also manifests in subtler signs like temperature changes in the legs, skin colour changes, slower growth of toenails, and even erectile dysfunction in men, especially those with diabetes.

  2. The Importance of Early Detection With advancements in medical science, including new treatments for PAD in 2023, recognizing these symptoms early has become crucial. Dr. Kapadia utilizes several diagnostic tests such as the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) and Doppler Ultrasound Imaging, which are instrumental in detecting PAD early and preventing its progression. Conclusion Understanding and recognizing the lesser-known symptoms of PAD are vital for early intervention. With advanced peripheral artery disease treatment and angioplasty options available, effectively managing PAD under the guidance of experts like Dr. Kapadia is more achievable than ever.
