CIRCULATORY DISORDERSAVOIDSmoking and excessive alcohol use.The most common circulatory, or vascular, disorders are high blood pressure and atherosclerosis; others include various clotting abnormalities and diseases marked by reduced blood flow. Some of the more common are aneurysms, intermittent claudication, phlebitis, and raynaud’s disease.ANEURYSMSThese balloonlike bulges from in weakened segments of the arteries, especially the aotta, the body’s largest artery, which stems directly from the heart. Many aneurysms are due to a congential weakness, while others are caused by atherosclerosis and high blood pressure.A LOW-FAT, LOW-SALT DIET IS RECOMMEDNEDThere is no specific dietary treatment for an aneurysm, but following a low-fat, low-salt diet can help prevent those caused by atherosclerosis and high blood pressure. Consuming ample fresh fruits and vegetables will provide the vitamin C needed to strengthen and maintain blood vessels.
INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATIONSevere leg pain and cramps induced by walking are symptoms of intermittent claudication. A lack of oxygen due to inadequate blood flow causes the pain.Atherosclerosis is responsible for most intermittent claudication; it is also common in dian exercise program has helped many patients. Patients with severe blockages, however, may require surgery to remove them.PHLEBITISAny inflammation of a vein is referred to as phlebitis; the large, superficial veins in the lower legs are the most commonly afflicted. Although painful, this type of superficial phlebitis is not as dangerous as when veins located deeper in the legs become inflamed, setting the stage for thrombophlebitis. In this condition, clots form at the site of inflammation; pieces may break away and travel to the heart and lungs.Phlebitis can be treated with aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs and by applying warm compresses. Clot-dissolving drugs may be administered for thrombophlebitis; other measures may by required to prevent clots from reaching vital organs. RAYNAUD’S DISEASEThis condition is characterized by periods of numbness, tingling , and pain in the fingers and toes due to constriction or spasms in the small arteries that carry blood to the extremities.Typically, Raynaud’s disease is set off by exposure to the cold; in some people, however, periods of stress may trigger an attack. For unknown reasons, two-thirds of all Raynaud’s sufferes are women. Smoking is blamed in many cases. Some victims may also have lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory autoimmune disorders.
