Risk Factors

These factors can increase your risk of developing Peripheral Artery Disease:

  • Smoking (current or former)
  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • African-American ethnicity
  • History of heart disease, heart attack or stroke
  • Family history of PAD, heart disease or stroke
  • Obesity (BMI over 30)
  • Age 50 or older

Register For The Screening

Deborah’s complimentary PAD screening event includes a test called the ankle-brachial index, a painless, noninvasive procedure that compares the blood pressure in your ankles with the pressure in your arms. This test can help determine if you may have PAD. If appropriate, additional noninvasive testing may be recommended.

We’re also offering complimentary blood sugar screenings to interested participants. While this screening can provide helpful preliminary insights, fasting four-hours prior to screening is recommended for the most accurate blood sugar assessment.

Screenings By Appointment Only
