Vascular Care
If you are experiencing leg pain that stops you mid-walk, swelling that does not go away, a wound on your lower extremity that refuses to heal, or a sudden episode of dizziness, weakness or speech trouble that passes in minutes, your body may be signaling a problem with your blood vessels. Richmond Heart and Vascular Associates offers vascular services for evaluating and treating the conditions behind those signals before they become something more serious.
What we offer
Our Vascular Services
From diagnostic vascular imaging to advanced interventional treatments, every service is available under one roof.
Screening
Carotid Artery Disease
The arteries running along each side of your neck supply blood to your brain. When plaque slowly narrows those vessels, there are often no symptoms at all. Because carotid artery disease builds quietly, early evaluation is one of the most effective steps you can take to lower your stroke risk.
Circulation
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
When the arteries supplying your legs narrow from plaque buildup, walking even a short distance can bring on cramping or heaviness that eases when you stop and rest. That pattern is one of the first signs of peripheral arterial disease. It is important to see a physician when you experience these symptoms because PAD also raises your risk of heart attack and stroke.
Veins
Venous Disease
The veins in your legs rely on tiny valves to push blood back upward to the heart. When those valves weaken, blood pools and pressure builds. Legs that ache by evening, visible bulging veins, or a wound on a lower extremity that will not heal are all signs the valves may need attention.
