It's simple, arteries and veins are fundamental to our health,
we have to talk about it.
We decided to launch a Portal on Vascular Health issues, because vascular diseases
are much less well known to the general public contrary to heart disease and brain disease for example.
There are complications in the limbs, kidneys, and this must be stressed
to empower people to take charge of their vascular health.
Especially with an aging population, there is a real urgency to act.
So how do you explain vascular health?
In fact, it's not about understanding the pump, the heart, but all the vessels
that are connected to the heart. So, it’s the arteries that start from the heart to infuse all the organs
and also include the veins that bring blood back to the rest of the body. Whether it is in
the arteries or veins, blockages may occur, and it is these blockages that cause
clinical complications that are important and that we want to prevent.
On our Vascular Health Portal,
you will find information on cardiovascular risk factors,
the main ones being smoking, diabetes, cholesterol and hypertension,
without forgetting obesity and sedentary lifestyle.
We are also going to talk about the most important vascular diseases,
for example peripheral arterial disease. The focus here is on the arteries that leave the heart
to infuse the legs for example, and which can give symptoms such as fatigue when walking.
So, on our portal in the section on peripheral arterial disease
we are going to look at blockages in the arteries that impede your circulation, the complications
related to these arterial blockages, and how to treat them when, unfortunately,
the problem has already occurred. With this portal we will propose solutions to improve
your vascular health, such as tips and references on food guides
and ways to improve your physical activities to reduce sedentary lifestyle and obesity.
There will also be references and practical guides that we will offer you.
