Vascular Health Specialties
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease is a buildup of plaque that causes the arteries to narrow and limit blood flow. This condition can cause heart attack or angina (chest pain).
Cerebrovascular Disease
Cerebrovascular disease affects blood vessels and blood supply to the brain. This condition can cause stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), a short term loss of blood flow to the brain.
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Peripheral arterial disease is a narrowing of blood vessels due to the development of fatty deposits and calcium in the arteries. The condition limits blood flow to the limbs, causing pain.
Vascular Disease (Vasculopathy)
Vascular disease (also called vasculopathy) can be a series of conditions caused by plaque made of fat and cholesterol that slows or blocks blood flow in the veins and arteries.
Thoracic Vascular Disease
Thoracic vascular disease is a condition that can cause a thoracic aortic aneurysm. This occurs when a bulging, weakened section of a blood vessel’s wall widens or balloons abnormally in the chest.
Abdominal Vascular Disease
Abdominal vascular disease is a condition that can cause an abdominal aortic aneurysm. This occurs when a bulging, weakened section of a blood vessel’s wall widens of balloons in the abdomen.
Peripheral Venous Disease
Peripheral venous disease is a narrowing of blood vessels that results in reduced blood flow in the limbs. This condition can cause deep vein thrombosis or varicose veins in the legs.
Lymphatic Vascular Diseases
Lymphatic vascular diseases are a series of conditions that can lead to lymphatic malfunction. Lymphedema, which causes swelling due to abnormal drainage of the lymph nodes, is common.
Vascular Diseases of the Lungs
Vascular diseases of the lungs are a series of pulmonary vascular conditions that affect blood vessels leading to and from the lungs. Examples include pulmonary arterial hypertension and COPD.
Renal Vascular Diseases
Renal vascular diseases are a series of conditions affecting blood flow to and from the kidneys. This includes renal artery stenosis (renal blockage) and fibromuscular dysplasia (weakened arteries).
