Chronic Venous Disease Journal

Chronic venous disease (CVD) is often overlooked by healthcare providers because of an under appreciation of the magnitude and impact of the problem, as well as incomplete recognition of the various presenting manifestations of primary and secondary venous disorders. The importance of CVD is related to the number of persons afflicted and the socioeconomic impact of its more severe manifestations. CVD is a very common problem, with varicose veins affecting more than 25 million adults in the United States and more than 6 million with more advanced venous disease. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) describes a condition that affects the venous system of the lower extremities, with the sine qua non being persistent ambulatory venous hypertension causing various pathologies, including pain, edema, skin changes, and ulcerations.
