During the month of February, Americans see the human heart as a symbol of love. Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of women and men in the United States, but now there is a message of hope that many people will be glad to hear.

A recent study reports that patients with varicose veins are better at making arterial collaterals. These collaterals are often referred to as “natural bypasses” and are capable of delivering an adequate amount of blood to the hearts muscles which can prevent a heart attack.

At VasCare, our focus is on venous insufficiency and varicose veins. People hate varicose veins because they are unattractive and can cause many symptoms such as aching, pain, heaviness, tiredness, fatigue, itching, burning, leg cramps, swelling, and restless legs . Don’t worry, fixing your bad veins won’t limit your body’s creation of arterial collaterals – it’ll just make your legs look and feel better.
