Vascular Disease

Vascular disease refers to a group of disorders affecting the blood vessels, which include arteries and veins. These conditions can lead to reduced blood flow, increasing the risk of serious problems like heart attacks and strokes. Common causes include atherosclerosis (buildup of fatty deposits in arteries), high blood pressure, and diabetes. Symptoms might include leg pain when walking or swelling in the legs. Early detection through lifestyle changes, medications, or procedures can help manage the disease and prevent complications. Regular check-ups are crucial for maintaining vascular health.
