PAD : Diagnosis
Several tests may be required to diagnose PAD and determine the extent of the disease. Some of these tests may be performed in a primary care physician's office, whereas others may be performed by a vascular specialist or in a vascular lab. Most tests are non-invasive and thus should be fairly painless.
