Though at any age one can experience problems with poor circulation, people commonly think of vascular problems as related to the heart, but they also occur in arteries and veins throughout the body-including the abdomen, kidneys, legs, neck and brain. Since all the blood vessels are interconnected, a problem in one area may be an indication of a more serious condition elsewhere. Blockages in the leg arteries can lead to difficulty walking or loss of a leg, whereas atherosclerosis in the arteries that lead to the brain can lead to stroke. The Hospital will provide innovative, state-of-the art methods for diagnosing and treating patients with disorders of the arteries and veins, which make up the vascular system. Ultrasound Vascular Laboratory will be dedicated to detecting and evaluating the presence of vascular disease.
