Peripheral Artery Disease impacts 10M+ Americans — and nearly 70% don't know they have it.
Congress has relaunched the PAD Caucus to address preventable amputations and gaps in screening and care.
On The Heart of Innovation, Dr. John Phillips and I debrief with Dr. Bob Tahara, Dr. Andrew Klein, Dr. David Alper, patient advocate Dawn-Marie Hernandez, and Harlem Globetrotter Larry "Shorty" Coleman, who lost a leg to PAD.
PAD is the leading cause of preventable limb loss and a major predictor of heart attack and stroke.
Early detection saves limbs — and lives.
