Chronic venous disease (CVD)
What is chronic venous disease (CVD)?
Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a disorder that affects the circulation of blood in the body. Women are generally more susceptible to the condition, especially during certain periods of their life like pregnancy, or when taking medication like the contraceptive pill, but it is not uncommon for men to suffer from the disease as well. Chronic venous disease (CVD) is very common in Europe and North America (affecting up to 40% of the adult population). The most common risk factors include a sedentary lifestyle, weight gain, hormonal disorders, deep vein thrombosis, general impaired blood vessel function, muscle pump failure and heredity.
The most severe cases of chronic venous disease (CVD) manifest with phlebitis or
varicose phlebitis, thrombophlebitis or varicose ulcers. The regular occurrence
of these symptoms can almost certainly be confirmed as chronic venous disease (CVD).
Veins
affected by venous disease are tortuous, elongated and visible, and are regarded as a genuine aesthetic
defect by many patients.
As well as aesthetic defects, chronic venous disease (CVD) may cause symptoms including pins and needles in the legs, swollen/tired legs, swollen ankles, muscle cramps, a constant cold sensation and telangiectasias (dilation of the venules, capillaries and arteriolae), visible through the skin.
