Chronic Venous Disease
Chronic venous disease is a condition that affects blood flow in the veins, most commonly in the legs, leading to discomfort, swelling, and visible vein changes. At New Beats Cardiology, we provide advanced evaluation and minimally invasive treatment options to improve circulation, relieve symptoms, and support long-term vascular health.
What Is Chronic Venous Disease?
Chronic venous disease (CVD) occurs when the veins in the legs are unable to efficiently return blood back to the heart. This is often due to weakened or damaged vein valves, which allow blood to pool in the lower extremities instead of flowing upward as it should.
Over time, this increased pressure in the veins can lead to progressive symptoms and visible vein changes if left untreated.
Common Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms of chronic venous disease may include leg swelling, aching or heaviness, fatigue, throbbing pain, itching, or cramping—especially after prolonged standing or sitting. Many patients also develop visible varicose veins or spider veins.
In more advanced stages, skin discoloration, thickening, or slow-healing ulcers may develop near the ankles.
What Causes Chronic Venous Disease?
Chronic venous disease is commonly caused by valve dysfunction within the veins. Risk factors include age, family history, prolonged standing or sitting, obesity, pregnancy, prior blood clots, and reduced physical activity.
Identifying contributing factors helps guide treatment and prevent disease progression.
How Chronic Venous Disease Is Diagnosed
Diagnosis typically begins with a detailed medical history and physical examination. Imaging studies may be used to evaluate blood flow, vein structure, and valve function in the legs.
Accurate diagnosis allows cardiology specialists to determine disease severity and recommend the most effective treatment approach.
Treatment and Management Options
Treatment for chronic venous disease focuses on improving circulation, relieving symptoms, and preventing complications. Management may include lifestyle changes, compression therapy, and minimally invasive procedures designed to close diseased veins and restore healthy blood flow.
Early treatment can significantly improve comfort, appearance, and overall quality of life.
