Peripheral Arterial Disease for the Internist

Piedmont Heart Grand Rounds: Dr. Andrew Klein presents educational information on peripheral arterial disease (PAD) for internists, cardiologists and vascular medicine specialists. Learn about the significant clinical impact of this prevalent condition.

Extremely informative. Ridiculous that it is not mandatory in-depth study of PAD considering it’s your bodies highway to all health issues. This is why incorrect treatment is given to thousands of patients. I know for I am one of them. I saved your video to share. Thank you…

[@stewartgray4301]

As a PAD sufferer, I found this presentation super-helpful. Thank you to all involved in publishing it.

[@Better_Call_Raul]

Generally speaking, does PAD pain occur most commonly occur and begin in the legs/calves? Or can PAD pain start from the toes?

[@krestedkay]

Amazing lecture...I just started working as an MA in a vascular and vein center and this lecture really gave me a clear understanding of the disease of the patients I have being seeing in the clinic. thank u for sharing

[@shvonned.burkemsncrnpagpcn619]

This was a great lecture! I’ve been looking for the specific contraindication re: CHF for a few days, and the literature I found was not really clear, so glad to hear it’s HF at any level. However, this precludes many patients.

As a medical student this video was great to understand the clinic of PAD and its importance. very good. thank you

[@areharald]

Thanks for making this presentation available, I found the presentation to be really informative and engaging.

[@ruthfavre4071]

Thank you for taking the time to do this presentation. I was checked once before PAD and at that point I was having discoloration whiteness and coldness in my ankles and feet. But the doctor and the hospital that I was being seen at chose to ignore all the signs and the blood pressure test at the ankles and the arms. And now I have diabetes and heart problems and have had to watch them device put in to my heart. And now the legs are swelling out more both of them and there is more discoloration sometimes from above my ankle down to my toes are just White as white can be and that you're completely cold. And the doctor that I have at this moment won't even think about having the one of the cardiologists that would clean my veins and arteries in my legs do the surgery because due to stress put on me by the doctor and the diabetic dietitian changing my diet for 2 weeks 3 weeks and which made my blood sugars go up even into the 500s which made my A1C a few weeks later go over 11 they won't allow the surgery to be done. And they are threatening me with amputation of one or both of my legs and just discussing whether it's below the knee or above the knee. I'm looking for another doctor.

[@puritalubaton196]

I have that too . Now Iam doing low carb diet or keto diet. I will see how it goes

[@margaretsprinkle405]

Find another doctor. An ultrasound of your aorta and femoral arteries will show how much blockage. Tell them I will sign off knowing risk of surgery before I start letting you hack my limbs off. I will pray for you

[@maryr7593]

What about ppl who have never smoked but they grew up in a household of parents, relatives that smoked. Is the second hand smoke exposure the same as those who smoke?

[@jeffreybailey175]

Im thin 176 lbs i barely eat but smoke the pain is so bad i cant take it .i want to be a patient of yours im 59

[@heidivernathorbjornsen475]

I hope you tackle quitting smoking . People that smoke have poor wound healing & it’s gasoline put on a fire for hardening the arteries to worsen . Drs won’t do joint replacements, etc or certain operations on patients unless they stop smoking these days . There is medications & patches to help you stop smoking & support groups . I’m so sorry you are in so much pain & smoking is a way to soothe yourself emotionally- but, it’s so important you stop purposely harming yourself more by smoking & help yourself more to create a chance of improving. 💕

[@jeffreybailey175]

Help me please .

[@allencrider]

*Cause of PAD* a. Bad luck. b. Lack of statins c. Consuming meat, dairy and/or eggs.

[@heidivernathorbjornsen475]

You forgot to mention all the soda , juice , fried foods using industrial toxic vegetable/ seed oils , fast foods , white flour , most gluten free flours , white rice , white potatoes , sugar , cheap breads , noodles , French fries, candies , cakes , boxed high carb / sugar cereals , high fructose corn syrup , corn flours , unhealthy factory farmed & nitrate filled animal products etc - and people drinking excessive alcohol & smoking . It’s these modern day habits & poor addictive nutrition choices that has caused this epidemic in health in all regards .
