Coronary Artery Disease
Your arteries are responsible for providing your heart with its supply of blood and oxygen. coronary artery disease refers to a narrowing of the coronary arteries. This disease may also be referred to as ischemic heart disease or atherosclerotic heart disease. When plaque builds up, the coronary arteries narrow. Symptoms of coronary artery disease include decreasing blood flow, shortness of breath, insufficient blood flow to the heart, causing chest pain known as angina, and more. A heart attack will occur from a complete blockage of a major coronary artery. For this reason, coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States.
Peripheral Artery Disease
Your arteries act as vessels, carrying oxygenated blood from your heart to your organs and extremities. Similar to your coronary arteries, peripheral arteries also narrow when plaque builds up. This decreases blood flow in your body and occurs most commonly in the legs. peripheral artery disease occurs more frequently in individuals who have a long history of smoking or uncontrolled diabetes. During its earlier stages, peripheral artery disease may cause leg pain, which often flares up after walking long distances. This condition is known as claudication. When left untreated, peripheral artery disease can worsen, sometimes causing leg pain even while sitting or lying down. At its worse, peripheral artery disease can lead to lower extremity wounds or even gangrene, sometimes requiring amputation.
Chronic Venous Disease
Your veins are responsible for transporting deoxygenated blood from your extremities and organs back to your heart. Chronic venous disease is a condition resulting from long-term vein problems. Also called chronic venous insufficiency, this problem occurs most frequently in the legs. Venous disease is the result of an obstruction in a vein or when blood pools in a vein from excess vein damage or pressure. There are many stages, signs, and symptoms of Chronic venous disease. The most recognized is spider or varicose veins on the surface of your affected leg. Venous disease may result in leg cramps, itchiness, aching, swelling, and heaviness in the affected leg. In the most severe cases, venous disease can result in venous leg ulcers.
Valvular Heart Disease
The human heart has four valves that open and close at precise times during the cardiac cycle. This allows blood to flow through the various chambers of the heart and prevent blood from flowing backward. Valvular heart disease, or heart valve disease, refers to the conditions in which one or more of those heart valves does not open or close as efficiently as it should. Heart valves may become narrowed or stiffen over time, resulting in a condition referred to as stenosis. This requires more force to open the valve, causing your heart to pump harder than usual to compensate. Sometimes a heart valve does not close completely, causing blood to flow backward. Common symptoms associated with heart valve disease include shortness of breath, chest discomfort, weakness or dizziness, swollen legs or abdomen, palpations, and more.
