What increases my risk for PAD?

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.

As a new patient my visit with Dr. Kruger was professional and very informative. He answered all my questions with interest and care. I felt safe and would absolutely recommend him to my family and friends. After my initial visit with Dr. Kruger I had blood drawn by one of the most gentle and caring technicians I've had the pleasure of meeting (a rare occurrence in that field). I have small veins that are often difficult to find; this young lady found them within a heartbeat and had such patience that I will be bringing my son, who is autistic, to her whenever he needs blood drawn... and after some of the traumatic experiences he's had, I am sure he will appreciate her too!

I always feel confident with Dr Joseph. He’s been my cardiologist for at least 8 years. Always personable and professional. I trust his advice and recommendations. He takes time to answer any concerns I have. So far so good!
