book describes Peripheral Vascular Disease, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases</p><p>Peripheral Vascular disease (PVD) is the narrowing, blockage or spasm of blood vessels in the arms, abdomen and legs (peripheral blood vessels).</p><p>Blood vessels are:</p><ol><li>Arteries (except pulmonary artery) transport oxygenated blood and</li><li>Veins (except pulmonary vein) transport de-oxygenated blood.</li></ol><p>PVD normally produces pain and fatigue, often in the legs, and especially during exercise.</p><p>The pain normally improves with rest.</p><p>It can also involve the vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the:</p><ol><li>Arms</li><li>Stomach and intestines</li><li>Kidneys</li></ol><p>In PVD, blood vessels become narrowed and blood flow reduces.</p><p>This can be caused by arteriosclerosis or by blood vessel spasms.</p><p>In arteriosclerosis, plaques build up in a vessel and limit the flow of blood and oxygen to the organs and limbs.</p><p>As plaque growth advances, blood clots may develop and entirely block the artery.</p><p>Constriction of arteries and veins leads to artery disease which produces less oxygenated blood to flow to the different parts of the body leading to cell or tissue death.</p><p>This can cause organ injury and loss of fingers, toes, or limbs, if left untreated.</p><p>The result is gangrene, which is a disorder in which the cells and tissues of the body extremities die.</p><p>When this happens, amputation of those parts of the body may need to be done.</p><p>Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is produced only in the arteries, which transport oxygen-rich blood away from the heart.</p><p>PAD is the most frequent form of PVD, so the terms are often used to mean the same disorder.</p><p>The types of PVD are:</p><ol><li>Functional PVD means theres no physical damage to the blood vessels structure.</li></ol><p>The vessels naturally widen and narrow in reaction to the environment.</p><p>But in functional PVD, the vessels exaggerate their reaction.</p><p>The most frequent causes of functional PVD are:</p><ol><li><p>Emotional stress</p></li><li><p>Cold temperatures</p></li><li><p>Operating vibrating machinery or tools</p></li><li><p>Drugs</p></li><li><p>Organic PVD involves alterations in blood vessel structure like inflammation, plaques, and tissue damage.</p></li></ol><p>The plaque buildup from arteriosclerosis can produce the blood vessels to narrow.</p><p>The primary causes of organic PVD are:</p><ol><li>Smoking</li><li>High blood pressure</li><li>Diabetes</li><li>High cholesterol</li></ol><p>Additional causes of organic PVD are extreme injuries, muscles or ligaments with abnormal structures, blood vessel inflammation, and infection.</p><p>The most frequent symptom of PVD and PAD is intermittent claudication.</p><p>Claudication is lower limb muscle pain when walking.</p><p>The patient may notice the pain when the patient is walking faster or for long distances.</p><p>It normally goes away after some rest.</p><p>Diagnosis is by angiography where the flow of dye through blood vessels can locate the clogged artery</p><p>First-line treatment normally involves lifestyle modifications such as avoiding smoking, walking, a balanced diet, and losing weight.</p><p>Medicines for Peripheral Vascular Disease are:</p><p>Cilostazol or Naftidrofuryl to elevate blood flow and relieve symptoms of claudication</p><p>Vascular surgery permits blood to bypass the narrow area through vein grafting</p><p>Angioplasty is when the doctor inserts a catheter with a balloon on the tip of the catheter can dilate and widen the artery.</p><p>A small wire tube in the artery called a stent (with drug-eluting) helps to keep it open</p><p>A new treatment for PVD is the use of growth factor (genes, proteins) and cell therapy</p><p>TABLE OF CONTENT<br />Introduction<br />Chapter 1 Peripheral Vascular Disease<br />Chapter 2 Causes<br />Chapter 3 Symptoms<br
