What are Arterial Diseases?
- Atherosclerosis: It is a condition in which the arteries harden and narrow due to the buildup of cholesterol plaques, reducing blood flow.
- Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Affects the arteries that supply blood to the extremities, causing pain and, in severe cases, can lead to amputation.
- Aneurysms: Abnormal dilation of an artery that can rupture and cause life-threatening bleeding.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
It is a condition in which the arteries that carry blood to the limbs, especially the legs, narrow or become blocked due to a buildup of fatty plaques (atherosclerosis). This reduces blood flow, which can cause leg pain when walking, cramps, or muscle weakness. If left untreated, PAD can lead to serious complications, such as slow-healing wounds or even limb loss.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm
An aneurysm is an abnormal dilation or widening of the lower part of the aorta, the body’s main blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. This aneurysm can grow slowly and go unnoticed, but if it ruptures, it can cause severe internal bleeding, becoming life-threatening. It is usually detected through imaging studies such as ultrasounds or CT scans performed for other reasons.
Carotid artery disease
This occurs when the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain, narrow or become blocked due to a buildup of fatty plaques (atherosclerosis). This condition can restrict blood flow to the brain and increase the risk of stroke. It often has no noticeable symptoms until a serious event occurs, so early detection and treatment are crucial to preventing complications.
