VASCULAR SURGEONS
SHARED TIP
Live a healthy lifestyle. Doing regular physical activity can help increase your HDL cholesterol (the “protective” type of cholesterol) and improve circulation. Avoid smoking. Smoking is very damaging to arteries all over your body and greatly increases the chance of heart attacks, strokes, aneurysms and many other circulatory conditions. Maintain a healthy weight, as it reduces the chance of circulatory disorders. Being overweight is linked to diabetes, hypertension, cancer, heart attacks, strokes and many other conditions.
RECOMMENDED
Ultrasound is a quick, painless method for diagnosing a variety of vascular diseases. From painful, unattractive varicose veins to life-threatening AAA, ultrasound has proven effective in diagnosing all vascular disorders. Ask one of our physicians if you would benefit from a screening ultrasound.
