Vascular Diseases

Vascular disease affects the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients throughout your body and remove waste from your tissues. Common vascular problems happen because plaque slows down or blocks blood flow inside your arteries or veins.

Some vascular diseases affect your arteries, while others occur in your veins. Vascular diseases can lead to serious cardiovascular complications, such as blood clots, heart attack, and stroke. It is important that people learn to recognize the symptoms of the vascular disease so they can seek timely and effective treatment.
