Cardiovascular disease There are many cardiovascular diseases involving the blood vessels. They are known as vascular diseases. Coronary artery disease (also known as coronary heart disease and ischemic heart disease) Peripheral arterial disease – disease of blood vessels that supply blood to the arms and legs.

Nervous System Diseases Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a diseases of the central nervous system which leads to recurring attacks of neurological symptoms. Learn more about its causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment here. Cerebrovascular Disease. Cerebrovascular disease refers to disorders of the blood vessels that supply blood flow to the brain. Here is information about various cerebrovascular diseases including brain aneurysms and stroke.

Overview of the Vascular System Cardiovascular diseases include illnesses that involve the blood vessels (veins, arteries and capillaries) or the heart, or both-diseases that affect the cardiovascular system. The cardiovascular system, also called the circulatory system, is the system that moves blood throughout the human body.It is composed of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. It transports oxygenated blood from the lungs and heart throughout the whole body through the arteries.ardiovascular diseases include illnesses that involve the blood vessels (veins, arteries and capillaries) or the heart, or both-diseases that affect the cardiovascular system.

Symptoms and Causes of Poor Circulation PAD is a circulatory condition that causes narrowing of the blood vessels and arteries. In an associated condition called atherosclerosis, arteries stiffen due to plaque buildup in the arteries and blood vessels. Both conditions decrease blood flow to your extremities and can result in pain. Over time, reduced blood flow in your extremities can cause: numbness; tingling; nerve damage; tissue damage; If left untreated, reduced blood flow and plaque in your carotid arteries may result in a stroke. Your carotid arteries are the major blood vessels that deliver blood to your brain. If plaque buildup takes place in the arteries in your heart, you’re at risk of having a heart attack.

Vascular Diseases It includes the arteries, veins and capillaries that carry blood to and from the heart. Problems of the vascular system are common and can be serious. Arteries can become thick and stiff, a problem called atherosclerosis. Blood clots can clog vessels and block blood flow to the heart or brain. Weakened blood vessels can burst, causing bleeding inside the body. You are more likely to have vascular disease as you get older. Other factors that make vascular disease more likely include. Family history of vascular or heart diseases.

Medical Definition of Cardiovascular Cardiovascular diseases are conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels and include arteriosclerosis, coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, arrhythmia, heart failure, hypertension, orthostatic hypotension, shock, endocarditis, diseases of the aorta and its branches, disorders of the peripheral vascular system, and congenital heart disease.

Nervous system diseases Nervous System Diseases. Multiple Sclerosis – Literally, “many hardenings,” MS is a disease of unknown cause that manifests as multiple hard plaques of degeneration of the insulating layer of nerve fibers in the central nervous system. The loss of insulation allows “short circuiting” of nerve impulses.

- The circulatory system is a network of specialized tubes (known as blood vessels) that carry oxygen-and nutrient-rich blood to the organs and tissues of the body. There are 3 types of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and lymphatics.AD is a medical condition caused by blockages of the arteries that provide blood flow to the arms or legs. You may have also heard of this problem referred to as peripheral vascular disease (PVD) or “bad circulation.” In PAD, the arteries become blocked by cholesterol plaque caused by atherosclerosis.

Circulatory System: Facts, Function & Diseases The pulmonary vein sends the oxygen-rich blood back to the heart, according to NLM. The systemic circulation is the portion of the circulatory system is the network of veins, arteries and blood vessels that transports blood from heart, services the body's cells and then re-enters the heart, the Mayo Clinic noted.iew full size image. One of the most common diseases of the circulatory system is arteriosclerosis, in which the fatty deposits in the arteries causes the walls to stiffen and thicken the walls. According to the Mayo Clinic, the causes are a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other material in the artery walls.

How does heart disease affect the body When certain heart disease or circulatory system malfunction occurs, it can lead to the problems with the body’s metabolism. The most common heart disease is coronary artery disease (medically called arteriosclerosis) and it is a condition when the plaque forms in the walls of the arteries.eart disease is the general term for all diseases and disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels, such as heart attack, stroke, coronary artery disease, and congenital or present at birth heart defects, as well as arrhythmia, angina and cardiomyopathy. Heart disease affects the body in several ways.

- Vascular disease is an abnormal condition of the blood vessels. Blood vessels (arteries and veins) are the tubes that pump blood throughout the body. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to nourish every part of the body, including the brain, kidneys, intestines, arms, legs and heart itself. Veins carry the blood back to the heart. Problems along this vast network of blood vessels, called the vascular system, can cause severe disability and death. To assist you in understanding the highway that is your vascular system, we have created an interactive map for your use in navigating the vessels that carry your blood.

Vascular disease Veins and arteries. Vascular disease is a class of diseases of the blood vessels – the arteries and veins of the circulatory system of the body. It is a subgroup of cardiovascular disease. Disorders in this vast network of blood vessels, can cause a range of health problems which can be severe or prove fatal. Buerger's disease – is due to small blood vessels that inflame and swell, vessels then narrow or are blocked by blood clots. 2  Raynaud's disease – a rare disorder of constriction of the peripheral blood vessels, in the fingers and toes when the person is cold.

Peripheral Artery Disease - Poor Circulation Peripheral Artery Disease - Poor Circulation. Peripheral artery disease (PAD), also referred to as arteriosclerosis of the extremities and peripheral vascular disease, is a condition that causes poor blood circulation to the kidneys, intestines, arms, legs, and feet. Blood flow may be reduced or blocked by narrowed or hardened blood vessels. This can lead to tissue and nerve injury or damage.

Vascular Disease and Pain In this article. Vascular disease includes any condition that affects the circulatory system. As the heart beats, it pumps blood through a system of blood vessels called the circulatory system. The vessels are elastic tubes that carry blood to every part of the body.Arteries carry blood away from the heart while veins return it.ike the blood vessels of the heart (coronary arteries), your peripheral arteries (blood vessels outside your heart) also may develop atherosclerosis, the build-up of fat and cholesterol deposits, called plaque, on the inside walls. Over time, the build-up narrows the artery.

Circulation Diseases Coronary Artery Disease. The coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply the heart with oxygen and nutrients. When there is build up of cholesterol (plaque) inside the walls of the coronary arteries, the blood flow to the heart decreases. Usually there are no symptoms when the blockage is small.
