Peripheral Vascular/Arterial Diseases Part 1May 18, 2012 Thromboangiitis obliteraans aka Buerger's disease is an inflammatory condition of the arteries. The prolonged presence of inflammation in the arteries causes proliferation (ie uncontrolled growth) of endothelial layer of the inner walls of the arteries. This causes narrowing of the lumen of the arteries, and thus reduces arterial blood flow. In addition to the decreased blood flow and endothelial inflammation, thrombi (blood clots) form in these areas, sometimes completely blocking the flow of blood through the affected artery. In cases of thromboangiitis obliteraans, pathological changes can also occur in the veins. The development of this disease is influenced by various factors such as heavy smoking and genetics. In cases of arterial and other blood vessel inflammation, vascular spasm further contributes to decrese of blood flow, overload of the heart, etc. Patients with diabetes often suffer from blood vessel pathologies (diebetic angiopathy.) In addition to vascular spasms and narrowing of the arterial lumen, the arteries and the capillary network can undergo significant pathological changes. Extensive capillary network damage means that there is no gas exchange; in the local area, which can lead to the development of trophic ulcers, gangrene, and even the necessary to amputate the affected extremity. Massage therapy can play a serious role in any of the above mentioned situations. If the disease is in early stages, be this thromboangiitis obliteraans or diabetic ... 
Cardiovascular Disease: OverviewMay 18, 2012 Millions of Americans have one or more forms of cardiovascular disease and Coronary Heart disease is the single leading cause of death in the country today. Rebecca Fox gives us an overview of the diagnosis and shows us what options are available. To watch thousands of health related videos go to www.icyou.com 
Cardiovascular Disease, Prevention, and the FutureApr 29, 2012 Google Tech Talk February 11, 2011 Presented by Dr. Nick Leeper, Stanford University. Come out and hear Dr. Nicholas Leeper of Stanford University discuss cardiovascular disease. This talk will give you tips to stay healthy and a look at the future of cardiovascular technology. 
Peripheral Vascular Disease Diagnosis and TreatmentMay 20, 2012 Often called the silent killer, peripheral vascular disease or PVD, often goes untreated. Dr. Gary Ansell of Riverside Methodist Hospital discusses revolutionary treatments of PVD that save lives and limbs every day. 
Peripheral Artery DiseaseMay 24, 2012 Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to limbs. It affects about 8 million Americans. PAD becomes more common as people get older, and by age 65, about 12 to 20 percent of the population has it. Diagnosis is critical, as people with PAD have a four-to-five times higher risk of heart attack or stroke. 
Cardiology Information : What Is Cardiovascular Disease?Feb 21, 2012 Cardiovascular disease, in general, refers to blockages in the arteries of the heart and the entire vascular system. Learn about vascular disease, or the plaque buildup in blood vessels, with information from a cardiologist in this free video on cardiology and the heart. 
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD)May 01, 2012 Vascular Procedure: "Improving Circulation to the Legs" Watch as innovative procedures are performed in a specially-designed Vascular Suite to restore blood flow for patients suffering with leg pain caused by Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD). You'll see the dramatic results of restored blood flow from these procedures.

Cardiovascular Disease-Signs & Treatment- Live Case from NCVHApr 30, 2011 Dr. Craig Walker discusses a live case study from the New Cardiovascular Horizons conference, focusing on signs of cardiovascular disease and treatment options available through the latest and most advanced technology. Dr. Walker is founder of Cardiovascular Institute of the South and co-founder of the New Cardiovascular Horizons conference, the largest peripheral arterial disease (PAD) medical conference and 4th largest cardiovascular conference in the nation. The conference was held from June 2-5, 2010 in New Orleans. "We want to increase the awareness of PAD and common risk factors that are overlooked," said Dr. Walker. "We can create awareness and suggest screening methods that can save not only legs, but lives." *Production by HTV-10 in Houma, LA. 6/7/2010 
Molecular Imaging of Vascular DiseaseApr 06, 2012 (September 5, 2008) Zahi Fayad, PhD, discusses the possibility of using imaging to monitor the effect of angiostatic and anti-inflammatory therapy after administering local drug delivery. 2008 Stanford AAA Summit vascular.stanford.edu Stanford School of Medicine med.stanford.edu Stanford Channel on YouTube: www.youtube.com 
Endothelial Progenitor Stem Cells in Lupus Cardiovascular DiseaseMar 05, 2011 Systemic lupus is associated with significant increases in premature heart attacks. Dr. Mariana Kaplan and her team at the University of Michigan Health Systems in Ann Arbor studied the abnormal function of stem cells that repair damaged blood vessels, an important factor implicated in heart disease in lupus. This study investigated the potential mechanisms by which abnormal vascular repair occurs in lupus and could contribute to designing treatments aimed at decreasing the risk of this potentially fatal complication. In this video, recorded during the 2010 American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Kaplan explains some of her findings, possible implications for the data she developed from the LFA funded study, and the next steps in this research.
