What is Chronic Vascular Disease?
Chronic vascular disease is a condition that implies long term damage, deterioration or destruction to the blood vessels in the body. Vascular disease may be defined in hundreds of medical conditions, including chronic venous insufficiency, peripheral artery disease and varicose veins. Understanding the basics of chronic vascular disease encourages individuals to be more aware of their body, normal versus abnormal function, and the importance of seeking immediate treatment when he or she notices something wrong.
