Welcome to Cardiovascular Therapeutics Unplugged! In this special episode, Dr. Mehra shines the spotlight on a condition that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves: peripheral artery disease, or PAD. September marks PAD Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to dive into what PAD is, who it affects, why it often goes undiagnosed, and what warning signs you should look out for. Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or just curious about your own cardiovascular health, this episode will guide you through the essentials of PAD, from risk factors and symptoms to the latest in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Get ready for a practical, insightful discussion to help you or your loved ones stay a step ahead in heart and vascular health.
