Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) happens when the blood vessels on the crust of your heart and brain start to shrink. The narrowed arteries reduce the blood flow to your limbs. The buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries makes them shrink or blocked. Plaque is a substance made up of fat and cholesterol. PAD is […]
Venous ablation is a procedure that closes off the varicose veins. Varicose veins are twisted, abnormally enlarged veins near the surface of the skin. The blood flows from the heart to the legs through arteries and travels back to the heart through veins. Veins have one-way valves that allow the blood to return from the […]
The circulatory system or (Cardiovascular system) is a system of organs that includes the heart and blood vessels. The main function of the circulatory system is to circulate the blood, lymph, oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to muscles, tissues, and organs throughout the body. The circulatory system also removes the waste from cells and organs, so […]
Peripheral arterial disease or PAD is a condition where blood circulation is reduced. It is caused by a narrowed or blocked blood vessel. The main cause is atherosclerosis, the building up of fatty deposits in the blood vessels, usually an artery. The narrowed blood vessel reduces the circulation of blood in the body. The peripheral […]
Varicose veins are twisted, tangled, enlarged veins. Any vein that is near the skin’s surface (superficial) can be or become varicose. Varicose veins are most commonly abrupt-ed in the legs, as standing, and walking increases the pressure in the veins of the lower body. Symptoms Varicose veins can cause aching and discomfort. Sometimes it leads […]
If you’re living with peripheral artery disease (PAD), you are aware of how painful even a short walk can be. When plaque builds up inside the arteries, it gets stiffer over time and restricts the amount of blood flows to your legs. Exercise is one of the best ways to manage PAD symptoms. Here’s what […]

Cholesterol — a wax like substance that builds up in the arteries — it is not completely harmful, despite its reputation. In fact, it can even improve your health when consumed properly. Cholesterol travels through blood on proteins called “lipoproteins.” There are two types of lipoproteins that carry cholesterol throughout the body. Good and Bad […]
Peripheral Artery Disease – PAD is a circulatory problem in which the arteries are narrowed, and the blood flow to your limbs is decreased. When you develop Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), usually legs — do not receive enough blood. This may cause symptoms, such as leg pain when walking (claudication) or buildup of fatty deposits […]
Leg pain can mean heart disease. Clogged arteries or arteriosclerosis, only happens in the heart but when it happens throughout the body, it’s called Peripheral Arterial Disease or PAD. Peripheral Arterial Disease causes leg pain that is considered as an ‘early warning’ that someone is at high risk for having Heart disease. Leg pain can […]
