#Sponsored This holiday season, I’m partnering with #SaveLegsChangeLives to encourage you to speak with your family about peripheral artery disease, or PAD. PAD is a form of cardiovascular disease that is often underdiagnosed. There is a hidden threat of PAD-related amputation, particularly among Black Americans, who are up to four times more likely than other Americans to undergo a PAD-related amputation. Amputations are one of the devastating consequences of PAD but are largely preventable. Because the holidays can mean more time with family, I encourage you to take what you learned from this post to have open conversations about PAD, potential risk factors and the importance of screenings with your loved ones.
