                    [Summary] => 


"Traitor" diseases are characterized as illnesses affecting a lot of people without them being aware that they have it. One example of this is Peripheral Arterial Disease or PAD. 


PAD manifests itself through persistent pain felt in thigh and calf muscles, which significantly decreases one’s walking ability. Consequently, PAD has also been shown to have major effects on cardiovascular health.


Without proper treatment, PAD not only increases the risk of amputation of lower extremities, it also raises one’s risk of a heart attack and stroke.

                    [Summary] => 


It’s 3 p.m. and you get out of your office for a quick stretching and walking.


Then, you suddenly feel pain in your thigh and numbness in the leg as you walk, but the symptoms ease when you rest. You may not worry about it, but these could be symptoms of peripheral arterial disease (PAD).


PAD, a condition that is especially prevalent among those with diabetes, refers to the partial or complete blockage of major arteries outside the heart that supply blood to other important areas of the body, such as the brain, kidneys, arms and legs.

                    [Summary] => According to the 2004 National Nutrition and Health Survey, there are almost four million Filipinos who are suffering from diabetes.  


These people are constantly in danger of succumbing to the disease’s complications such as Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD).


PAD, whose primary risk factor is diabetes, is a problem with blood flow in the arteries. The disease causes the arteries that normally supply blood to the muscle to get narrow or blocked so that less blood can flow through the artery.

Club (i-PAD), a project which aims to aid doctors diagnose PAD, especially among diabetic patients.
