What increases my risk for PAD?

Posted by

Some risks you simply can’t control when it comes to PAD – these mostly involve genetics and aging. However, there are many risk factors that you can control.

Here are some of the most common contributing factors to this disease:

  • Not being physically active
  • Smoking cigarettes
  • High blood pressure or cholesterol levels
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity

It’s important to address these health concerns if you want to decrease your chances of getting PAD! In many cases, this disease is entirely preventable.

However, if you’re in need of a successful treatment plan for your PAD, call Brookhaven Heart today – we specialize in effective PAD detection and treatment.
