The Amputation Heat Map: 150,000 Limbs a Year, a Five-Fold Gap, and a Question for Your Congressperson @American_Heart #Diabetes @ALPSlimb #PAD #CLTI #ActAgainstAmputation A few weeks ago, we launched The ZIP Code Lottery — a data narrative showing how amputation rates in Los Angeles County track almost perfectly with poverty, not clinical severity. It struck a nerve. The response told us something important: people want to see the data, and they want it to be impossible to look away from. So we built another one.

Demystifying the most wonderful little diagnostic tool ✨- available to most podiatrists & nurses for quick (60 second) lower limb arterial assessment. Let’s really simplify … if it looks & sounds like this👇, it’s probably #PAD. If there’s also a wound, it’s probably #CLTI 🫀🦵

Graphs show freedom from progression to chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) among patients undergoing index revascularization for claudication. Data is split into male & female groups with event-free probability charted against days for Hispanic, Non-Hispanic Black & White groups.

Among Medicare-linked patients undergoing revascularization for #Claudication, progression to #CLTI within 180 days occurred in nearly 6% of cases, with Black women facing the highest risk. ja.ma/45NEcPV

Inflammation, Lipids, and Limb Risk: New Clues from Two Cohorts #ActAgainstAmputation #PAD #VascularDisease #CLTI Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is one of the most devastating complications of diabetes—contributing to ischemic pain, functional decline, and, in severe cases, amputation. Despite its prevalence, early detection remains elusive, and clinicians continue to search for simple, reliable markers of risk. A new multicohort study led by Wang and colleagues now shines a spotlight on a set of easily measured blood markers—
