Saturday, September 19, 2026
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is more prevalent and deadlier than most cancers combined, yet over 30% of Americans have never heard of it. Why? Textbook symptoms like leg pain, cramping, and slowed walking are routinely misdiagnosed as normal aging or joint issues. On this edition of The Heart of Innovation on KDOW, we partner with CPC Clinical Research to announce the full launch of the PAD Patient Registry. Learn how pilot data revealed critical gaps in care and how this living, real-time registry allows patients to document their real-time journey to shape the future of vascular medicine.
