About this specialty
Vascular medicine covers arterial and venous disease outside the heart: peripheral arterial disease, claudication, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency and diabetic foot ulceration, along with the interpretation of non-invasive vascular studies.
Peripheral vascular disease is often neglected until it threatens a limb or throws a clot. A consultant assessment — reviewing duplex studies, ankle-brachial index and angiography — establishes whether your case is managed with medication and risk-factor control, or needs a vascular intervention.
