Your vascular system is a maze of arteries, veins and tiny capillaries spreading out from the heart to deliver oxygen and nutrients to every cell in the body.  As the blood circulates, it removes carbon dioxide, toxins and waste materials.   

With aging, blood vessels become less elastic causing a roughening of the interior surface, and a narrowing or blockage of the vessel. Resistance to blood flow increases, elevating blood pressure, which can cause additional damage to the blood vessels.

Vascular diseases are very common and involve areas of the body; the arms, legs, head, neck or abdominal organs.  Many problems can result from untreated vascular disease, which if severe, may require surgery or endovascular intervention.
