Hidden Heart Risks in Your Socks: Signs of Peripheral Artery Disease

Could your socks be hiding a heart problem? Some signs of peripheral artery disease or PAD can show up on the feet, including wounds that won’t heal, slow-growing toenails, cold feet and skin color changes. PAD raises the risk of amputation, heart attack and stroke, but it can be treated if it’s caught early. Take off your socks at your next doctor's appointment and ask about PAD.
