Vascular Disease

Make an appointment

Vascular disease refers to conditions that affect the blood vessels outside of your heart. It affects the veins and arteries in your body, which conduct oxygen to every living cell. This ranges from diseases of your arteries, veins, and lymph vessels to blood disorders that affect circulation.

Amelia Heart & Vascular Center offers comprehensive care for conditions related to your entire cardiovascular system. Vascular surgeons will talk to you about how exercise, diet, and medication can be the first step in regaining your health.

Personalized Care for Vascular Disease

Being diagnosed with a vascular disease means you have arterial (or artery) disease or venous disease and have symptoms that fall into one of these two categories. Our specialists collaborate to provide the most advanced diagnosis and treatment and develop an individualized care plan for each patient.

You are more likely to have vascular disease as you get older. Other factors that make vascular disease more likely include:

  • Family history of vascular or heart diseases
  • Hypertension
  • High cholesterol
  • Diabetes
  • Smoking
  • Pregnancy
  • Illness or injury
  • Long periods of sitting or standing
  • Obesity
  • Blood clotting disorders
