vascular disease
Blood vessel pathology
Vascular disease refers to conditions affecting the blood vessels—arteries, veins, and capillaries.
These include atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), aneurysms, blood clots, and varicose veins.
Vascular disease can restrict blood flow to organs and limbs, leading to stroke, heart attack, or peripheral artery disease: Her leg pain turned out to be vascular disease.
