Stay in Circulation Campaign
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health, in partnership with the P.A.D. Coalition, has launched a national campaign to raise awareness about peripheral arterial disease. Called “Stay in Circulation: Take Steps to Learn About P.A.D.,” the campaign encourages men and women over age 50 to be alert to P.A.D. symptoms, talk to their health care providers about their risks, and ask about the simple diagnostic test, the ankle brachial index (ABI).
The campaign offers a wide variety of resources to help individuals and local communities take steps to learn about P.A.D. New materials include radio and print public service announcements in English and Spanish, brochures in English and Spanish, an educational video and a community tool kit to aid partners with awareness activities at the local level.
