PAD Conditions - VenicePAD Education
Understanding Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
At Dr. Issam Halaby’s office-based vascular center in Venice, Florida, we believe knowledge is power.
If you or someone you love is dealing with leg pain, slow-healing wounds, or other circulation issues, learning about Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is the first step toward getting better.
PAD affects the blood vessels that supply your legs and feet. When blood flow is reduced, muscles don’t get enough oxygen — leading to pain, weakness, and slow healing.
PAD is serious, but it is also manageable — especially when diagnosed and treated early.
Below, you’ll find patient-centered resources to help you understand PAD, how it’s diagnosed, how it’s treated, and how you can live fully with it.
