🦵❤️ Peripheral Artery Disease is not just a leg problem—it's a life-threatening cardiovascular signal.

Up to 60% of patients are asymptomatic, yet PAD doubles to triples the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and death. Evidence is clear: exercise therapy, statins, antiplatelet or rivaroxaban-based strategies, blood-pressure control, and GLP-1/SGLT2 therapies save limbs and lives.

🚶‍♂️💊🫀 When walking hurts—or quietly fades—cardiovascular risk rises. PAD deserves the same urgency as coronary disease.
