What is Peripheral Arterial Disease?
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a condition where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs. It commonly affects the legs and can cause symptoms like leg pain during walking (claudication), cold feet, or wounds that heal slowly. PAD increases the risk of heart attack and stroke, so it's important that emergency responders are made aware of the condition. An ICE card helps ensure that your diagnosis is known and understood quickly, improving the care you receive.
