April 12th, 2014. Chicago, IL. Chicago Vein Care Center is releasing a guide to swollen legs and ankles for people who already know the basics and want to gain a deeper understanding of this bedeviling consequence of vein disease. According to the vein clinic in Chicago, swelling the lower extremities caused by venous issues can be a sign of one of the many vascular conditions that can drastically reduce a person’s quality of life and increase mortality risk.
According to Dr. Ramon Castro, the Center’s medical director, “With the high rates of metabolic syndrome in the United States, vein disease has become a particular danger to patients with obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.” These particular patients are at a much greater risk for developing vein disease and suffering from life-threatening consequences like infection, blood clots and skin breakdown.
By providing more details about vein diseases that cause swelling, the Center hopes that more people with unexplained swelling will appreciate the need to seek vein care in Chicago and elsewhere.
