В США объявлен сентябрь месяцем повышения осведомленности о периферической артериальной болезни

September is Peripheral Artery Disease Awareness Month SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - September is Peripheral Artery Disease Awareness Month. PAD is an arterial disease that affects more than 10 million people in the United States. Dr. Anand Dayama with Sanford Health joined Dakota News Now to share more about the disease and the effect it has on people’s lives. “PAD is a peripheral arterial disease. That means the blood vessels supplying your legs develop narrowing due to plaque or the hardening of a blood vessel, and can impact people’s lives significantly. It causes leg pain, sometimes causes stroke, and it is very treatable and manageable,” said Dayama. “If we change the modifiable risk factors, like if we promote smoking cessation, put a patient on baby aspirin to make the blood less sticky, and give cholesterol medication that is statin to make blood plaque stable, it promotes progression.” You can learn more about Peripheral Artery Disease by watching the full interview above.
