vaskuláris
Vaskuláris refers to anything relating to blood vessels. This includes arteries, veins, and capillaries, which are the small vessels that form the circulatory system. The vascular system is responsible for transporting blood, oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body and removing waste products. Conditions affecting the vascular system are known as vascular diseases. These can include blockages, narrowing, or weakening of the blood vessels. Examples of common vascular conditions include atherosclerosis, where plaque builds up inside arteries, and deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot in a deep vein. Vascular surgeons specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the vascular system, often through procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery. Maintaining vascular health is important for overall well-being and can be influenced by factors such as diet, exercise, and avoiding smoking.
