Peripheral Artery Disease Screening

Duly Health and Care is offer­ing Periph­er­al Artery Dis­ease (PAD) screen­ings for $75. PAD occurs when the arter­ies to the legs become nar­rowed or clogged by plaque, lead­ing to restrict­ed blood flow and caus­ing pain. With near­ly 18 mil­lion Amer­i­cans affect­ed by PAD — and 50% of those expe­ri­enc­ing no symp­toms — ear­ly detec­tion is key to pre­vent­ing more seri­ous complications.

Duly’s PAD screen­ings only take 15 min­utes to com­plete and are com­plete­ly pain­less. The screen­ing con­sists of an ankle-brachial index exam that assess­es your blood pres­sure, and two ultra­sounds to check for nar­rowed or blocked arter­ies and rule out abdom­i­nal aor­tic aneurysm.

Rec­om­mend­ed for patients aged 50 and old­er and have one or more of the following:

• Fam­i­ly his­to­ry of PAD, heart dis­ease, or stroke
• Dia­betes
• High blood pressure
• High cho­les­terol
• Obe­si­ty
• Seden­tary lifestyle
• Smok­ing habit

Through­out the month of Feb­ru­ary, we’re offer­ing Buy One, Get One Free PAD Screen­ings for you and a loved one to raise aware­ness for this often-undi­ag­nosed con­di­tion. Ear­ly detec­tion of PAD can help pre­vent seri­ous com­pli­ca­tions like limb loss, stroke, and non-heal­ing wounds.
