Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, founder and Medical Director of Cardiovascular Interventions (CVI), a cardiac state-of-the-art facility based in Orlando, said, "While Peripheral Arterial Disease is a serious condition, it is a common and treatable disease. Recurrent pain or cramps in an individual's legs and feet during exertion are common symptoms of PAD and should be evaluated by a medical professional. While PAD can affect anyone at any age, one in 20 Americans over the age of 50 have PAD."
PAD is caused by plaque build-up or blockages in an area of the body outside of the heart such as the legs, neck or arms. The blockages keep extremities and organs from receiving oxygen-rich blood. And just like clogged arteries in the heart, blocked arteries in the legs raises the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes. Ultimately, PAD can reduce mobility and lead to more serious conditions if left untreated.
"From prevention to intervention, CVI has procedures which provide solutions that include medical management in our clinic to atherectomy and angioplasty in our Catheterization Lab," said Jamnadas. "We can help improve your symptoms, so we recommend 'get smart, get seen and get healthy.'"
CVI's 12,000 sq. ft. facility houses a variety of state-of-the-art technology advancements and equipment that aid in the diagnosis treatment of both cardiac and peripheral vascular conditions and assists in developing the most sophisticated and comprehensive treatment plans.
