Vascular Disease

Vascular diseases don’t always have obvious symptoms, and when you feel an unusual pain or cramp, you might be tempted to push through it. But an early diagnosis of vascular diseases like peripheral arterial disorder or peripheral vascular disease is the best step you can take toward a healthier, brighter future. The specialists at AdventHealth are here to help you get started.

Your physician can answer your questions about your risk of developing a vascular disease and will advise you on how often you should visit for regular screenings. Our network is equipped with the latest diagnostic technology, so if something does feel wrong, we’ll help you find clarity through tests including:

• Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)
• Blood Tests (Including Cholesterol, Triglycerides, and Diabetes)
• Computed Tomography (CT) Angiography
• Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Angiography
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan
• Physical Exam
• Ultrasound

Your vascular system is complex, and so are the conditions that affect it. But the team of vascular specialists at AdventHealth is here to help you understand your condition with an accurate diagnosis, reduce your symptoms with vascular disease treatment, and help you feel like yourself again.

Within our network, you’ll have access to experts in vascular disease, with deep experience in treating conditions such as:

• Ascending Aneurysm
• Atherosclerosis
• Carotid Artery Disease
• Descending Aneurysm
• Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) or Peripheral Arterial Disorder (PAD)
• Renal Vascular Disease
• Venous Thromboembolism

If you’re concerned about your chances of developing a vascular disease, your physician can discuss risk factors with you and offer advice about simple, healthy lifestyle changes. Smoking, high blood pressure, and family history can all play a role, so it’s never too early to come in for a test.

A vascular-disease diagnosis can make it feel like your whole life is going to change. But we’re here to help you make the change as positive as possible, empowering you to make lifestyle choices that are good for your body, mind, and spirit. Along with medical and thrombolytic vascular disease treatments and the latest surgical procedures, you’ll find the support you need to give up smoking, achieve a healthy weight, eat better, and discover a comfortable yet invigorating exercise routine. This can help you lower your blood pressure and reduce your symptoms, but it’s about more than that — it’s about helping you live a happier, stronger, more confident life.

In some cases, your physician may recommend a surgical procedure. Within our network, we perform countless life-changing vascular-disease surgeries every year, including:

• Aortic Valve Replacement
• Aortic Valve Stenosis
• Catheter Atherectomy

• Coronary Angioplasty / Balloon Angioplasty

In addition to comprehensive vascular disease treatments, our network also offers lifestyle coaching, including nutritional and weight-loss guidance. Whatever your health goals, we'll be here to help you reach them.
