If you answered no to all of the questions on the self assessment, an vascular screening may not be necessary. However, if you develop any symptoms of PAD, such as leg pain when walking that is relieved by rest, leg numbness, cold legs, or poor wound healing in the feet, contact our experts at the Heart House to schedule an in-depth screening.

The symptoms of PAD may resemble other conditions, so medical evaluation is critical. Be sure to continuously monitor new or worsening symptoms to keep track of your vascular health and catch any blockages that are affecting blood flow.
