PAD Patients
Peripheral Arterial Disease Treatment Has Never Been Easier
FlowMedic’s FM220 offers a non-invasive, portable solution for use at home and in the hospital for the improvement of blood circulation in the lower extremities to help prevent and reduce complications of poor circulation.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), which affects approximately 12 million people in the US, is a condition that causes poor circulation in the legs. When PAD is left untreated, the risk of heart attack, stroke, amputation, or death increases. PAD is currently the leading cause of morbidity in elderly people.
Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are exposed to a three- to five-fold increased risk of coronary artery disease and stroke due to systemic arteriosclerosis. As a result, the cornerstone of therapy is aggressive cardiovascular risk factor modification. That said, improving arterial circulation to the lower extremities and management of peripheral symptoms is an essential element in patient care and treatment.
Please consult your physician regarding your condition.
