A vein clinic is where you will find medical doctors who focus on treating patients with a variety of vein diseases and circulatory conditions. These conditions can cause a web-like appearance (varicose veins or spider veins), chronic leg pain, or open sores where a vein protrudes at the skin’s level. Fortunately, most vein diseases may […]
Wounds that are not healing properly can cause serious issues in the patient’s health. A scrape or small cut can usually be treated at home, but larger or deeper wounds warrant evaluation and treatment by a medical specialist. Even a small wound that is becoming worse also should be seen by a physician. A laceration […]
Your arteries fulfill the vital function of carrying blood through your different body parts. However, the arteries supplying your heart and limbs can become constricted with fat deposits. The resulting insufficient blood supply can cause painful cramps, sensation loss, and permanent tissue damage. Stents are medical tools used to widen constricted arteries. These devices are […]
Veins that are unnaturally large, twisted, and visible on the surface of the skin are called varicose veins. Our veins work against gravity to return blood to the heart from the limbs. Valves are located throughout the veins, and they help to facilitate blood flow back to the heart – but weak, damaged valves allow […]
Vascular diseases are conditions that affect the arteries, veins, and capillaries. Whereas arteries bring oxygenated and nutrient-rich blood to the various cells of your body, veins bring the depleted blood back to the heart for refortification. In the adult human body, there are close to 100,000 miles of blood vessels – which could stretch across […]
Many people ignore the fact that they have prominent, bulging veins on their legs. If you have them, you may figure they’re just a fact of life as people get older, and that there’s nothing you can or should do about it. But those varicose veins could be trying to tell you something – possibly […]
People think of varicose veins as an inevitable consequence of aging. The good news is that while these swollen, gnarled veins are more likely to appear as we grow older, they are actually avoidable – and, if you do get them, they are definitely treatable. Several simple lifestyle changes can help protect your legs from […]
A vascular ultrasound is a safe and noninvasive procedure used to examine blood circulation around the body. Its main purpose is to evaluate blood flow to specific organs and tissues in your body, and to detect and locate any blockages or abnormalities within the blood vessels. Vascular ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of […]
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein that is located deep inside the body. This type of vascular clot is called a thrombus, and the danger is that the clot can dislodge and move up to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism – which is a potentially fatal blockage. […]
Venous insufficiency is when the veins in the body have some difficulty pushing blood back to the heart for reoxygenation, re-nourishment, and recirculation. Whereas the arteries deliver fresh blood from the heart to all parts of the body in order to bring nutrients and oxygen to the cells, the veins deliver the depleted blood back […]
