Vascular medicine focuses on the non-invasive diagnosis and treatment of
all problems involving the circulatory system outside of the heart. These
problems may involve:
- Arteries, which deliver blood from the heart to the tissues
- Veins, which deliver blood back to the heart
- Lymphatic system, which transports lymph fluid back to the circulation
Commonly encountered conditions in the field of Vascular Medicine include:
- Peripheral arterial disease - blockages in the leg arteries; may cause
pain with walking
- Carotid artery stenosis - blockages in the neck arteries; may lead to a stroke
- Renal artery stenosis - blockages in the kidney arteries; may contribute
to high blood pressure and/or chronic kidney disease
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) - a bulging of the aorta that may cause
it to rupture
- Venous problems such as deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and chronic venous
insufficiency
- Raynaud’s, vasculitis, lymphedema and other less common vascular
conditions
