What Are the Symptoms of Vascular Disease?
A health condition that affects the blood circulatory system of the body is known as a vascular disease. Blood vessels are elastic tubes that carry blood and oxygen to different parts of the body. Deposition of plaque or fat on the inner walls of blood vessels reduces their efficiency, resulting in vascular disease. A vascular disease can affect any part of the circulatory system including arteries, veins, lymph vessels and the heart. According to the American Heart Association, peripheral arterial disease, a type of vascular disease, affects more than 8 million Americans.
