Free PAD screening event: Sept. 22 Ask the Physician Deborah Heart and Lung Center will host its annual free screening event Sept. 22 to assess for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which is impaired circulation in the legs. This common and dangerous vascular disease can lead to heart attack, stroke, amputation and death. It occurs when arteries in the legs become clogged with fatty de- posits, reducing blood flow. Typical symptoms of PAD include pain, aching, cramping or fatigue in leg muscles while walking or using stairs. If you are interested in finding out if you are eligible for the screening, please call 609-621-2080, option #2. d For more information about how Deborah Heart and Lung Center’s leading-edge technologies can improve your qual- ity of life or an appointment with a Deborah specialist, contact Tom Campbell at 609-893-1200, ext. 5843.
