Dr. Patil explains the differences between venous and arterial disease.
The legs have veins and arteries and can be thought of like a set of highways. The arteries take blood to the feet and the veins drain the blood and send it back to the heart. The heart is the pump that's circulating the blood.
It's important when you have an issue with your legs to tease out the differences because the treatments are different. If you come to a vascular center such as ours, we have experts that can investigate with both physical examination history and using technology like ultrasound or CT scans. Symptoms can also vary depending on if it's artery or vein. Oftentimes the symptoms overlap, so it is important to have a conversation with your doctor.
