AUV – Arteries and veins

AUV Arteries and veins

Arteries transport oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body, while veins return deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart. Their optimal function is crucial for maintaining a stable blood pressure and supplying the organs with oxygen and nutrients.
There are various diseases that can affect arteries and veins. Here are some of them:
Common arterial diseases:
– Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAD): affecting the arteries of the limbs, especially those in the pelvis and lower legs.
– Vascular occlusions: These are usually caused by thrombi, i.e. blood clots in the vessels.
– Protrusion in one or more arteries: This is a widening or bulge in the wall of an artery.
– Inflammatory phenomena of the arteries: This can include a variety of conditions, including arteritis and atherosclerosis.
Common venous disorders:
– Spider veins: these are small, dilated blood vessels that are visible near the surface of the skin.
– Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI): This is a condition in which the veins do not effectively return blood to the heart.
– Varicose veins (varices): These are dilated, tortuous veins that are often visible on the legs.
– Open leg (venous leg ulcer): This is an open ulcer that usually develops on the lower leg and is often the result of long-standing venous disease.
– Venous thrombosis: This is a blood clot in a vein, usually in the deep veins of the leg.
– Phlebitis: This is an inflammation of the vein wall.
