Listen up. Your body has a story to tell.

Every body has a story — what's yours? We all have a vascular system in our bodies, but that doesn't mean they're all working the same way. Could you be suffering from peripheral vascular disease (PVD)? PVD affects your circulation, causing restricted blood flow to every part of your body. Only 1 in 4 people show symptoms.

PVD can lead to life-threatening situations like:

• Aneurysm
• Blood clots
• Heart attack
• Stroke

Men age 45 and older and women age 55 and older who have risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or are overweight or a smoker, should consider this screening.

It's quick, easy and painless. Call to find out if you qualify for a free screening.

A PV screening is not for you if you've had one within the last three years or have had an abnormal past result.

When you sign-up for our free, 30-minute PV screening, you'll receive:

• A carotid artery ultrasound to make certain you're getting proper blood flow to the brain.

• An abdominal aorta ultrasound to search for the possibility of an aneurysm.

• A leg screening measuring the blood flow and blood pressure in your legs.

If you are diagnosed with PVD …

Sometimes, the best solution can be a simple medication to assist blood flow. If medication is not the answer, the expert Edward-Elmhurst surgeons and staff can perform a full range of vascular and endovascular procedures. Our teams of specialists can help you feel better by using minimally invasive techniques to repair and open clogged arteries.
