What is Vascular disease?

any condition that affects your circulatorysystem, such as peripheral artery disease.

this ranges from diseases of your arteries,veins and lymph vessels to blood disordersthat affect cicrculation.

The following are conditions that fall under the category of VascularDisease:

Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D)disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries that

carry blood to your head, organs, and limbs.

PLAQUE is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium,

fibrous tissue, and other substances in the blood.

P.A.D. usually affects the arteries in the legs, but also

can affect the arteries that carry blood from your heart to

your head, arms, kidneys, and stomach. This article focuses

on P.A.D that affects blood flow to the legs.

Peripheral Venous Disease (P.V.D)second type of peripheral vascular disease.

a term describing damage, defects or blockage inthe veins that carry blood from the hands and feet to

the heart. It can occur almost anywhere in the body but

is mostly seen in the arms and legs.

CAUSE:

a blood clot that blocks a vein. A clot forms

when vein walls become weak and blood flow slows.

Aneursymis a localized, blood-filled balloon-like bulge in the

wall of blood vessel.commonly occur in arteries at the base of brain

and an aortic aneursym occurs in the main artery

carrying blood from the left ventricle of the heart.

When the size of an anuersym increases, there is

significant risk of rupture, resulting in severe

hemorrhage, other complications or

D E A T H.

Renal Artery Stenosisis the narrowing of the renal artery, most often

caused by atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia.FIBROMUSCULAR DYSPLASIA a disease

that can cause narrowing of arteries in the kidneys, it

can also cause hypertension, strokes, heart attacks,

arterial swelling and dissection.

narrowing of the renal artery impede blood flow to

the target kidney. Hypertension and atrophy of the

affected kidney may result from renal artery stenosis,ultimately leading to renal failure if not treated.


9/14

Raynauds Phenomenonvasospatic disorder causing discoloration of the

fingers, toes, and occasionally other areas.can also cause nails to become brittle with

longitudinal ridges.

this is believed to be the result of

vasospasms that decrease blood supply to the

respective regions. Emotional stress and cold areclassic triggers of the phenomenon.


10/14

Buergers Disease (Thromboangiitisobliterans)

is a recuring progressive inflammation and

thrombosis of small and medium arteries and veins of the

hands and feet.

strongly associated with use of tabacco products,

primarily from smoking, but also from smokeless tabacco.


11/14

Varicose Veinsare bulging,swollen,purple, ropy veins, seen

just under your skin, caused by damaged valves

within the veins.

they are common in women than men and they

often run in families.they can also be caused by pregnancy, being

sevelery overweight, or standing for long periods of time.


12/14

Venous Blood Clota natural process in which blood cells and

strands of fibrin clump together to stop bleeding after ablood vessel has been injured.

the clot forms a protective scab over a healing

wound. If the body did not have the ability to clot blood,people would bleed to DEATH after a minor cut.


13/14

Lymphedema (LymphaticObstruction)

a condition of localized fluid retention and tissueswelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system.

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM returns the interstitial fluid

to the thoracic duct and then to the bloodstream, whereit is recirculated back to the tissues.

tissues with lymphedema are at risk ofinfection.
