What is Peripheral Arterial Disease? with Vascular Expert Dr. Kumar, MD.

  • Resumen

  • In the first episode of the Bakersfield Health Channel, Dr. Vinod Kumar discusses peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Many residents of Bakersfield are at high risk for PAD because of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other health challenges. When peripheral arterial disease develops and progresses without appropriate medical care, patients may develop an array of symptoms. These include foot and leg pain, foot ulcers that won’t heal properly, and even amputation.

     

    Dr. Kumar explains to us exactly what PAD is and who is most at risk for the disorder. Further, he digs into how the disease progresses and the signs of PAD that suggest we need to seek medical care. Finally, he describes the different ways the medical team that cares for patients with PAD can treat the disorder to help stop its progression and prevent amputation.
