Know About Arterial Occlusive Disease
Arterial Occlusive Disease, also known as Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), occurs when the arteries that supply blood to your limbs become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup. This can lead to reduced blood flow, causing pain and discomfort, and increasing the risk of serious health complications.
Importance of Screening
Early detection of PAD is crucial for preventing complications and improving quality of life. Many individuals with PAD may not experience symptoms until the disease has progressed significantly. Screening allows for:
- Early identification of arterial blockages.
- Timely intervention to prevent further artery narrowing.
- Personalized treatment plans to manage symptoms and improve blood flow.
- Reduction of the risk of heart attack, stroke, and limb loss.
Who Should Be Screened?
Individuals with the following risk factors are strongly encouraged to undergo screening for AOD:
- Age over 45
- Smoking history
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Family history of vascular disease

Frequently Asked Questions
PAD is a common circulatory problem where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, usually the legs. This can cause symptoms like pain, cramping, and numbness, particularly during physical activity.
The cost of Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening in Dubai at Emirates Hospitals Group facilities is AED 699.
Common symptoms of PAD include leg pain or cramping (claudication) during exercise, numbness or weakness in the legs, coldness in the lower leg or foot, and non-healing sores or wounds on the toes, feet, or legs.
Treatment options for PAD include lifestyle changes (such as quitting smoking and increasing physical activity), medications to manage symptoms and improve blood flow, and in some cases, procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery to restore proper blood flow.
While PAD cannot always be prevented, its risk can be reduced through a healthy lifestyle. This includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, managing blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and avoiding smoking. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can also help in early detection and management.
