Vascular disease can cause serious complications.
Vascular disease is a common health issue in the United States affecting millions of people. Many people will not have symptoms until it has progressed and causes complications.
Vascular disease affects the blood vessels and disrupts the normal flow of blood throughout the body; it can lead to a variety of conditions, potentially leading to serious health complications including skin ulcers, aneurysm and stroke.
Early detection is key.
The earlier vascular disease is diagnosed, the better chance that conservative treatments will be successful.
