In this episode, we delve into peripheral artery disease (PAD) within the Black community, focusing on its signs, causes, diagnosis, and treatment options. We discuss how prevalent risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol, contribute to a higher incidence of PAD in this population. Recognizing symptoms like leg pain, numbness, and skin discoloration is crucial for early detection. We also explore the impact of socioeconomic factors and limited access to healthcare on delayed diagnoses. Join us as we shed light on this significant health issue and discuss strategies to manage and prevent PAD effectively.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) disproportionately affects the Black community, with higher prevalence and increased risk factors compared to other populations. Engaging with platforms like Black Health Awareness can provide valuable information on recognizing PAD's signs and symptoms, promoting early diagnosis, and effective treatment strategies to improve health outcomes.
Emerging research indicates that long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with an increased risk of developing peripheral artery disease (PAD). Regularly replacing furnace air filters can enhance indoor air quality, potentially reducing the risk of PAD and other cardiovascular conditions.
