Join hosts Dr. John Phillips and Global PAD Association CEO Kym McNicholas on The Heart of Innovation as they broadcast live with Dr. Christopher Stout from Ozark Vein & Vascular's 3rd annual PAWS For PAD event.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) causes poor circulation in the legs and affects 1 in 5 Americans over 60, yet 70% of adults don't know what it is—despite being more prevalent and deadlier than most cancers combined. In this episode, Dr. Stout shares his patient-centered approach to vascular health, the role of walking and pets in improving leg circulation, and practical tips for smoking cessation.
