Amputation Prevention Alliance
The CVC is a member of the Amputation Prevention Alliance (APA).
The APA is a coalition committed to the mission of reducing the number of avoidable, diabetes-related amputations that take place every year in the United States.
Get a Pulse on PAD Campaign
The CVC is proud to be part of the Get a Pulse on PAD campaign.
The effort aims to educate and raise awareness about the risk factors and potential symptoms of PAD – the most debilitating disease that many people have never heard of. The CVC has joined the Get a Pulse campaign with the goal of empowering patients to advocate for their health by kicking off the conversation with their doctor.
PAD happens when arteries in the legs narrow, reducing or cutting off blood flow, and is a leading cause of non-trauma related amputations when not diagnosed and treated early. Kick off the conversation with your doctor to see if you are at risk or may have PAD.
According to a new national survey, 70% of Americans are not familiar with PAD, despite the disease impacting one in every 20 Americans over the age of 50.
PAD is a common vascular disease in which leg arteries become narrowed, reducing or cutting off blood flow, contributing to 400 amputations performed each day in the United States.
"The CVC will continue to raise awareness about PAD and protect patients from the disease before it’s too late. The latest survey results underscore the urgent need for enhanced education efforts to address the surge in amputations devastating marginalized communities," stated Interventional Cardiologist and Endovascular Specialist Jeffrey G. Carr, MD, a CVC Board member. "Since signs and symptoms may often be overlooked, initiating a discussion with your physician to comprehend your risk factors is crucial in averting amputations and, ultimately, preserving lives."
