USA Vein Clinics, a nationwide provider of non-surgical treatments for vein disease, provides Trenton residents with heart-healthy tips during American Heart Month. The state-of-the-art clinic has appointments readily available at 50 E State St., Trenton, NJ, located in the Capital Center Mall.
Studies have shown a link between vein disease and heart disease. Symptoms of vein disease like varicose veins affect the veins’ ability to push blood from the legs back to the heart. This causes blood to pool in the legs, add pressure to the veins, and indirectly impact the arteries, leading to other vascular diseases.
Physicians at USA Vein Clinics state that by maintaining healthy veins, patients can lower their risk of heart disease by incorporating these tips:
Aim for a healthy weight
Being overweight or obese can add pressure to your veins. This will damage the veins and can lead to varicose veins, heart disease, and other vascular conditions.
Exercise regularly
Exercises such as walking can boost circulation and keep your heart and veins healthy. This is because your calf muscles bring most blood from your legs back to your heart.
Quit smoking if you smoke
Smoking, as well as vaping, raises your risk of vascular diseases because it constricts your blood vessels, impacting circulation. Your risk of heart disease drops after two to five years of being smoke-free.
Schedule a vein screening
Maintaining healthy veins can help with circulation, but they can’t reverse damage that has already been done to veins. Vein screenings at USA Vein Clinics can help doctors identify issues such as varicose veins or spider veins that impede blood flow. Early detection and treatment can alleviate common symptoms such as leg pain, swelling, fatigue, and tingling sensations.
“Untreated vein disease can lead to serious issues like blood clots, non-healing wounds, and even heart failure,” said Yan Katsnelson, M.D., CEO and Founder of USA Vein Clinics. “Our accessible, minimally invasive treatments enable people in the Trenton community to take charge of their vascular health.”
