In this health talk, Dietitian Pallavi Jassal talks about Vascular Surgery with Dr. Gaurav Singal, Senior Consultant Vascular Surgery, Grecian Hospital, Mohali.
Another edition of our flagship health awareness radio talks goes on air today… LiveLifeMore® Show with focus on the health of the blood vessels… the channels which carry pure blood from the heart to the rest of the body & carry impure blood from the whole body back to the heart.
There are several common vascular disorders that one may suffer especially if someone has a history of co-existing Diabetes, Obesity, Smoking, High Blood Pressure, abnormally High Cholesterol levels etc.
The vascular diseases may present in the form of
– abnormal bulges in the blood vessels also known as aneurysms which may be present in the great blood vessel aorta in the chest or abdomen also called Aortic Aneurysm.
– blockages in which the blood vessels are unable to carry a sufficient amount of blood forward resulting in the reduction in the supply of nutrition & oxygen to the tissue the blood vessel was supplying the blood to.
– Varicosities found in varicose veins of the lower limbs, in which the blood vessels become abnormally engorged & incapable to carry blood upwards towards the heart.
All these common vascular diseases can be managed safely by medical therapy or by surgical procedures if detected in time. But, if not managed well, they can result in non-healing ulcers, amputations, disabilities or even death in worse cases.
Do listen to the show produced by our health awareness crusader Preventive Health Consultant Dr. Sandeep Jassal, presented by our health presenter Dietitian Pallavi Jassal talking to Dr. Gaurav Singal, a senior Vascular Surgeon from Grecian Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali.
Take care, stay informed, stay blessed and LiveLifeMore.
Yours in health awareness,
