                    [Title] => Cilostazol: More than just PAD treatment
                    [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.
