Promoting Healthy Hearts for Happier Lives in Shelbyville
Your body’s vascular system is comprised of a complex array of arteries,
veins, lymph vessels, and lymph nodes, all of which contribute to moving
blood and removing damaged cells. If any part of this network becomes
dysfunctional or succumbs to disease, your vascular system can be damaged.
Vascular disease can prevent your tissues from receiving enough blood,
which poses a serious threat to your health.
Some of the vascular diseases and conditions we can treat include:
Heart attacks
Aneurysms
Blood clotting disorders
Varicose veins
Lymphedema
Ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes
Arrhythmia
Heart valve disease
Atherosclerosis, peripheral artery disease, and other artery conditions
In general, vascular diseases are generally caused by inflammation of veins
and arteries and build-up in blood vessels. Many people do not notice
any symptoms of vascular diseases until build-up and inflammation get
so bad that blood flow and muscles are affected.
You may be more at risk for vascular disease if you:
Smoke
Are overweight
Have diabetes
Have high blood pressure
Do not eat a healthy diet
Have high cholesterol
Have a family history of vascular disease
Do not get enough exercise
If our team has diagnosed you with a vascular disease, count on us to treat
your condition and improve the functions of your vascular system. Alongside
