Vascular medicine is an area of medical science that involves the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting the blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. The blood vessels play a crucial role in the transport of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products within the body. Vascular diseases can disrupt this important function, leading to a range of health issues. Some of the common vascular conditions are peripheral artery disease (PAD), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), varicose veins, venous insufficiency, and aneurysms. Vascular medicine utilizes various diagnostic tools, such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to assess the structure and function of blood vessels. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of vascular medicine which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.
