Nearly 10 million Americans have PAD, a blood flow condition that could increase a patient’s risk for amputation. Did you know you may be more likely to develop PAD if you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, or a history of smoking? An interventional radiologist can help determine if you have PAD. This can be through an ankle brachial index test, which compares the blood pressure in the upper and lower limbs, or through an examination, using imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT and MRI. IRs can work with your care team to develop a comprehensive care plan. Using our doctor finder, you can search for interventional radiologists near you and filter by area of expertise. Learn more about how IRs treat PAD and find a doctor this . https://brnw.ch/21wMIPs.

📣 There is an amputation epidemic in our country, especially in underserved communities.

Black Americans are two times more likely to suffer from PAD and up to four times more likely to undergo an amputation, and Hispanic Americans often have more progressive PAD leading to worse outcomes, including amputation.

Association of Black Cardiologists, the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, SIR and the Society for Vascular Surgery joined together to form the PAD Pulse Alliance, empowering people to Get a Pulse on PAD.
