Peripheral Arterial Disease

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a common condition that affects blood vessels outside the heart and brain, primarily those that supply the upper and lower limbs. As podiatrists, we treat many patients who have been diagnosed with PAD and monitor their feet for changes. Many of our patients have not been diagnosed with PAD, but we can help screen for this disease in the office.

Vale Foot and Ankle Surgery, PLLC has partnered with Biomedix and is now equipped with state-of-the-art technology called PADnet to perform comprehensive tests for PAD, providing accurate and timely results. Three key tests—Ankle Brachial Index (ABI), Toe Brachial Index (TBI), and Pulse Volume Recordings (PVR)—play a vital role in diagnosing and evaluating the severity of PAD. These tests are exactly what we can perform with PADnet. Check out this video describing PADnet and the process!
