What is vascular disease?

Vascular disease refers to conditions that affect the arteries, veins, or lymphatic vessels. These conditions can restrict blood flow, weaken blood vessel walls, or cause inflammation. Early detection is essential because untreated vascular issues can lead to heart attacks, strokes, or limb complications.

Which conditions fall under vascular disease?

Common vascular conditions include:

  • Peripheral artery disease (PAD)

  • Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)

  • Carotid artery disease

  • Aneurysms

  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

  • Chronic venous insufficiency

  • Varicose and spider veins

  • Lymphedema

Each condition affects circulation differently and may require specialized treatment.

What symptoms can vascular disease cause?

Vascular disease may present with:

  • Leg pain, cramping, or heaviness

  • Swelling in the legs or feet

  • Skin discoloration or ulcers

  • Coldness or numbness in the limbs

  • Weak or absent pulses

  • Varicose or bulging veins

  • Slow wound healing

  • Sudden dizziness, vision issues, or speech changes (carotid artery disease warning signs)

Individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a smoking history are at higher risk.

How is vascular disease diagnosed?

At Advanced Health Associates, diagnosis may include:

  • Vascular ultrasound to assess blood flow

  • Ankle-brachial index (ABI) to evaluate circulation in the legs

  • Blood tests for cholesterol and inflammation

  • CT or MRI imaging, when needed

  • Physical exam and detailed medical history

These tests help identify blockage, narrowing, or weakening of blood vessels.

How is vascular disease treated?

Treatment depends on the specific condition and severity but may include:

  • Lifestyle modifications such as exercise, diet changes, and smoking cessation

  • Medications to improve circulation, control blood pressure, or prevent clots

  • Minimally invasive procedures like angioplasty, stenting, or ablation therapy

  • Vein treatments such as sclerotherapy or endovenous laser therapy

  • Compression therapy for chronic venous insufficiency

Your provider develops a personalized treatment plan to restore circulation and prevent complications.

What are the benefits of vascular care?

  • Improved blood flow and circulation

  • Relief from leg pain, swelling, and fatigue

  • Prevention of serious complications like stroke or blood clots

  • Better wound healing and skin health

  • Enhanced mobility and quality of life
