Vascular diseases are major health problems and encompass the leading causes of death and disability. This category of clinical disease includes:
- states of cardiovascular risk such as hyper-cholesterolemia, hypertension, and diabetes;
- the systemic features of atherosclerosis, such as coronary and peripheral artery disease, and cerebrovascular disease and stroke;
- conditions for which angiogenesis plays a role, such as wound healing and cancer, and retinal disease in diabetes, atherosclerosis and sickle disease;
- disorders of endothelial dysfunction and vascular dysregulation, as occurs in shock, sepsis, Raynaud’s disease, and migraine;
- primary and secondary pulmonary hypertension;
- the sickling disorders;
- thrombophilia and thrombotic complications such as stroke, arterial or venous thrombosis, fetal wastage, and pulmonary embolism;
- abnormal bleeding due to inherited or acquired states such as hemophilia and disseminated intravascular coagulation;
- inflammatory diseases that involve participation of blood and vessel wall
Research Data
