Research Notes on Vascular Disease
Vascular disease is any condition that affects your circulatory system. Vascular disease can affect everything from the brain to your legs.1 Peripheral artery disease, aneurysms, and varicose veins are all examples of vascular disease.2 Vascular disease is usually progressive, and is most common in people over the age of 45.1
Fast Facts:
