Vascular disease is actually a group of diseases that affect the veins and arteries that, along with your heart, make up your circulatory system.
Both blood vessels, i.e., arteries and veins, are not the same. Oxygenated blood travels through your arteries to your organs and tissues. Veins carry the blood back to your heart when there is no more oxygen in the blood.
At Vantage Medical Associates, our specialist team will examine you if they suspect you have a vascular disease, based on your symptoms and medical history. Our doctors are specialized in diagnosing and treating these vascular diseases:
