When To See A Doctor
Certain symptoms require immediate attention and a trip to the doctor.
During physical activity, experiencing leg pain or cramping may signal reduced blood flow, a hallmark of peripheral artery disease (PAD). It’s essential to schedule an appointment with a medical professional to assess the condition. If left untreated, Peripheral Arterial Disease can lead to serious complications, including heart attack and stroke.
Swelling, pain, or changes in skin color in the legs or feet also require medical attention. These symptoms can indicate deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or other vascular conditions that require prompt treatment.
Additionally, individuals with a family history of vascular diseases or those who’ve recently suffered from a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) should consult a medical specialist. They’ll help manage carotid artery disease and prevent further complications.
Early diagnosis and treatment can greatly impact outcomes, so it is crucial to seek medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms.
Assessments
A detailed assessment is essential for diagnosing conditions such as peripheral artery disease (PAD) and carotid artery disease and informing an effective treatment plan.
A comprehensive evaluation may include non-invasive tests like Doppler ultrasound and angiography to assess blood flow and identify artery blockages. These assessments help medical teams understand the extent of any arterial disease and create a tailored treatment plan to address specific needs.
During the assessment, a risk evaluation may be conducted to determine the likelihood of developing vascular diseases. This includes reviewing family history, lifestyle, and existing health conditions.
