Vascular Diseases
Vascular diseases are a range of disorders that affect blood vessels, including arteries, veins and capillaries. They can lead to impaired circulation, which can further cause an array of health problems. These diseases are the leading cause of death in the U.S., and are responsible for a majority of stroke and heart attack cases. Treatment options for vascular diseases includes medication, lifestyle changes, physical therapy and in some cases, surgery. Early diagnosis of vascular diseases is crucial to protect against potential complications, and can also help to minimize their severity. Thus, regular check-ups at a physician’s office are important, particularly for those with a higher risk of developing the diseases.
