USA Vein Clinics is offering vascular screenings in its Utah clinics during American Heart Month to raise awareness of the link between varicose veins and heart disease. Physicians at the state-of-the-art clinics say that early detection of vein disease—the cause of varicose veins—can significantly impact overall health, lowering the risks of complications and heart disease.
While vein disease doesn’t directly cause heart disease, both diseases share common risk factors such as age, smoking, obesity, and high blood pressure. For some patients, vein disease and heart disease are in their genes. Regular health screenings and treating symptoms of vein disease is the best way to maintain healthy veins and a healthy heart. It’s also the best defense against complications like leg ulcers.
Treatments for vein disease involve various, minimally invasive radiology techniques that can be personalized depending on each patients’ needs. Patients can verify their insurance instantly when they call or use the scheduling tool to book an appointment.
