Ep. 29 - When is it Too Late? Restoring Blood Flow in Critical Limb Ischemia

Welcome to Cardiovascular Matters! In this episode, Dr. Craig Walker and Terry Roberts tackle the serious condition known as critical limb ischemia (CLI), a leading cause of limb amputation.Critical limb ischemia occurs when blockages severely reduce blood flow to the legs, causing pain, ulcers, and gangrene. Dr. Walker shares:✔ How to recognize the symptoms and risk factors of critical limb ischemia.✔ Why early intervention can dramatically reduce the risk of amputation.✔ Advanced procedures available today that can restore blood flow even when patients have been told amputation is their only option.✔ The impact of amputation on quality of life, family dynamics, and mortality.✔ Essential medications and lifestyle changes to keep blood vessels open after treatment.If you or a loved one are facing critical limb ischemia, have pain at rest, non-healing ulcers, or have been recommended for amputation, this episode could offer a life-changing perspective and options for limb salvage.💙 Take charge of your heart health today!If you’re concerned about your risk, visit cardio.com to schedule a screening with Dr. Walker and his team.📌 Don't forget to follow and share!--- For more information, visit: ---Facebook Page: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558432490919www.cardio.com
