Doctors For Peripheral Vascular Disease In Swat

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a circulatory disorder that develops over time. PVD is caused by a spasm, blockage, or narrowing of the blood vessel.

PVD, also known as Peripheral arterial disease, can affect any blood vessel outside the heart, including the veins, arteries, and lymphatic vessels. The brain and legs supplied by these vessels may not receive enough blood flow to function properly. However, the feet and legs are the most commonly affected.

Treatment may include:

• Lifestyle changes for controlling risk factors, including proper nutrition, regular exercise, and quitting smoking
• Aggressive treatment of the existing conditions which may worsen PVD, like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol
• Medicines like blood thinners improve blood flow and medications that relax your blood vessel walls
• Vascular surgery
• Angioplasty such as Balloon angioplasty, Atherectomy, Laser angioplasty, and Stent.
