Our bodies are made up of a complex system of blood vessels.

Damage to these vessels can cause lifestyle limiting symptoms.

And in some cases, this can lead to life or limb-threatening conditions.

Know the symptoms to look for and when to see a vascular specialist.

Leg Pain

Leg pain with walking can be an early sign of poor circulation. Leg pain or numbness as rest can be a late sign requiring urgent attention.

Varicose & Spider Veins

Varicose & spider veins are usually the result of malfunctioning valves throughout the large veins of the legs and can have a significant impact on quality of life. There are medical, surgical, and non-surgical treatment options.

Leg Swelling

Leg swelling or heaviness can impact quality of life and may also represent a serious medical condition.

Non-Healing Wounds

Non-healing or slow-to-heal wounds usually represent a significant circulation issue. Urgent medical attention is often required.

Dizziness

Dizziness, lightheadedness or any stroke-like symptoms can result from a disruption of blood flow to the brain.

Abdominal Pain

Abdominal pain after eating or with significant weight loss can be a sign of poor circulation to the bowels.

Even without experiencing any symptoms, some vascular conditions can still be life-threatening.

You may be due for a non-invasive screening ultrasound study.

Know the 6 common risk factors and when to be screened for vascular disease.

Smoking

Did you know that smoking is the single greatest risk factor for developing peripheral arterial disease. Some studies have shown a 30-50% increased risk of PAD in smokers.

Hypertension

Over time, high blood pressure can cause harm to the walls of blood vessels leading to hardening and narrowing. It is also a known risk factor for aneurysm formation.

Cholesterol

When circulating levels of cholesterol are elevated, this can lead to atherosclerosis or hardening/narrowing of the arteries. This can slow down or prevent blood flow.
