Expert Treatment for Venous and Arterial Disease
Protect your vascular health with comprehensive care for conditions such as varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and arterial disease.
What Are Venous and Arterial Diseases?
Venous and arterial diseases affect millions of individuals annually and can range from mild conditions to life-threatening complications.
Venous Conditions:
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency: When valves in the veins fail, causing swelling and pooling of blood.
- Varicose Veins: Enlarged, twisted veins that can cause pain and discomfort.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): A dangerous condition where blood clots form in deep veins, potentially causing life-threatening pulmonary embolisms.
Arterial Conditions:
- Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Hardening of arteries (atherosclerosis) that reduces blood flow to extremities.
- Renal Artery Disease: Narrowing of arteries to the kidneys, leading to hypertension and potential kidney damage.
Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for managing these conditions and improving quality of life.
Know the Risks and Symptoms of Vascular Disease
Vascular diseases can arise from lifestyle choices, genetic predispositions, and medical conditions.
Common Risk Factors:
- Family history of vascular disease
- Smoking, obesity, and prolonged standing
- High blood pressure and cholesterol
- Pregnancy or recent surgery
- Certain medications or illnesses
Symptoms to Watch For:
- Venous Disease: Swelling, pain, or heaviness in the legs; discolored veins; and warm, firm areas.
- Arterial Disease: Cramping or pain in the legs when walking; numbness; cold extremities; and slow-healing wounds.
If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Early intervention can prevent serious complications.
