Vascular Studies
MIMG’s physicians provide comprehensive, well integrated care of the vascular medicine patient.
Our physicians are trained both in the management of acute problems in vascular medicine and in the practice of secondary prevention to maintain optimal health.
Vascular medicine includes the diagnosis, imaging, medical and endovascular therapy of arterial, venous and lymphatic diseases.
These vascular diseases include:
- Arteriosclerosis obliterans
- Chronic venous insufficiency
- Deep venous thrombosis
- Superficial thrombophlebitis
- Vasospastic diseases
- Vasculitis
- Lymphedema
- Diabetic foot
- Thromboangiitis obliterans
Associated medical disorders including:
- Dyslipidemia
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Coagulopathy
Today affecting over 25 million people, vascular diseases are the major causes of death and disability in the United States. The prevalence of vascular disease is expected to increase as the population ages.
Novel technologies provide opportunities for earlier and more accurate diagnosis. New discoveries in vascular biology and pathophysiology have increased our understanding of atherosclerosis, thrombosis and vasculitis and are being translated to therapeutics at a rapid pace and results in substantial opportunities for early diagnosis and effective treatment of many vascular diseases today.
