Peripheral Artery Disease Treatment

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) treatment focuses on improving blood flow to the limbs. It may include lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly to enhance circulation. Medications can be prescribed to lower cholesterol and manage blood pressure. In more severe cases, procedures such as angioplasty—where a small balloon is used to open narrowed arteries—or surgery may be necessary to restore blood flow. Regular check-ups and monitoring are essential to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and treatment options.
