What is Vascular Disease?

A vascular disease is a condition that affects the arteries and veins. Most often, vascular disease affects blood flow, either by blocking or weakening blood vessels, or by damaging the valves that are found in veins. Organs and other body structures may be damaged by vascular disease as a result of decreased or completely blocked blood flow.

What Causes Vascular Disease?

Blood clots A blood vessel may be blocked by an embolus (a tiny mass of debris that moves through the bloodstream) or a thrombus (a blood clot).

Inflammation In general, inflammation of blood vessels is referred to as vasculitis, which includes a range of disorders.

Trauma or injury Trauma or injury involving the blood vessels may lead to inflammation or infection, which can damage the blood vessels and lead to narrowing and blockage.

Genetic Certain conditions of the vascular system are inherited.

Preventive Measures

If you haven't been diagnosed with vascular disease, some of those lifestyle changes can help keep you healthy

Maintain a healthy blood pressure

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, causes hardening and narrowing of the blood vessels. This leads to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.

Regulating blood sugar levels

High levels of glucose in the blood (Diabetes Mellitus) can damage the walls of the blood vessels, by decreasing their elasticity and causing them to narrow, thus restricting the flow of blood. In addition, high blood glucose levels also weaken the immune system and reduces our ability to fight infections.

Keep cholesterol levels low

Keeping cholesterol levels low is very important as high levels of cholesterol can influence the development of fatty deposits in our blood vessels. This can block the passageway of the blood vessels and result in an increased risk of diseases such as heart attack or stroke.

Quit smoking

Carbon monoxide and nicotine are two components in cigarettes that encourage the buildup of fatty deposits on arterial walls. As such, it is very important to refrain from or quit smoking, to maintain good vascular health.

Walking

Walking promotes good blood circulation throughout the body, and this is especially essential for our vascular health. Regular walking exercise has been shown to result in better blood pressure control, reduced blood cholesterol and blood glucose and overall reduced risk of death from heart attack and strokes.

Ensuring a healthy body weight

Obesity can lead to multiple health problems, including hypertension, diabetes and heart disease. It can also impair the flow of blood in the leg veins leading to increased risk of blood clots developing in the lower limbs (deep venous thrombosis).

How are Vascular Diseases Treated?

Which treatment you get depends on which vascular disease you have and how severe it is. Types of treatments for vascular diseases include:

Medicines

such as blood pressure medicines, blood thinners, cholesterol medicines, and clot-dissolving drugs. In some cases, providers use a catheter to send medicine directly to a blood vessel.

Non-surgical procedures

vascular health encompass various interventions aimed at managing or treating vascular conditions without invasive surgery such as angioplasty, stenting, and vein ablation

Surgery

encompass a broad spectrum of treatments that target conditions affecting the body's blood vessels, arteries, and veins. These interventions aim to restore or improve blood flow.

" Very professional and friendly. We visited Dubai for a few days and we had to check with a pediatrician for our son. We were so lucky to meet Dr. Mousa. He were very friendly and our 4yo boy, in spite of his pain, was laughing loudly while Dr. Mouse was examing him with playing and jokes. Moreover he was so kind and generous to provide the consultancy and also the follow-up for free as he said we are guests in Dubai. All the best to Dr. Mousa and all the team. "
