Dr. Kousta Foteh Discuss Peripheral Artery Disease

Mar 11, 2025 | Peripheral Arterial Disease, Videos

 

This morning, Dr. Kousta Foteh joined KPRC2 / Click2Houston to discuss peripheral artery disease (PAD)—a condition where blocked arteries restrict blood flow to the legs. Many people dismiss leg pain as a normal part of aging, but it could indicate a higher risk of heart attack or stroke.
Key takeaways from Dr. Foteh’s interview:
✅ PAD affects 1 in 3 adults over 50 and is often underdiagnosed.
✅ Symptoms include leg pain while walking, wounds that won’t heal, and temperature differences in the feet.
✅ Early detection is critical to preventing serious complications, including amputation.
✅ If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or a history of smoking, your risk is even higher.
Watch the full interview for more details and call Vital Heart & Vein if you suspect you or a loved one has PAD.
