New PAD Collaborative Heat Map Reveals Risk of Non-Traumatic Lower Limb Amputations

The PAD Collaborative releases an interactive heat map to highlight the risk of non-traumatic lower limb amputations, a severe complication of peripheral artery disease (PAD), offering specific data for each state and aiming to prevent PAD, reduce complications, and improve quality of life.

This news matters because it sheds light on the critical need for improved health care services, screening, and education for people at risk or affected by PAD. The heat map serves as a vital tool for health care professionals to become aware of amputation data in their region, allowing them to consider the need for patient and staff education, health programs, community screenings, and outreach concerning research and advocacy.
