Why Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is more dangerous than most | Dr. P C Gupta | CARE Hospitals

Dr. P C Gupta, Clinical Director and HOD, Vascular and Endovascular Surgery & Vascular IR at CARE Hospitals, Banjara Hills, explains why Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is more dangerous than most realise:PAD occurs when cholesterol blocks the arteries that supply blood to the legs. Just like a heart attack occurs due to blocked heart arteries, PAD causes pain while walking — and in severe cases, can lead to gangrene or even limb loss.With rising rates of diabetes, smoking, and ageing, PAD is becoming increasingly common. Early detection is key.#PeripheralArterialDisease #PADAwareness #DrPCGupta #CAREHospitals #CAREHospitalsBanjaraHills #VascularHealth #LimbSalvage #VascularCare #EndovascularSurgery #LegPain #DiabeticFootCare
