We specialize in treating:
Stamford Hospital's Heart and Vascular Center provides patients with state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment for patients with vascular diseases.
The vascular system is the system of blood vessels, which includes arteries, veins and lymph vessels that carries blood to and from the heart. Vascular diseases involve occlusion, or narrowing of arteries by plaques, causing reduced blood flow through these vessels to the arms, leg, head and neck or to the abdominal organs, such as the kidneys and the bowel. Ballooning of the arteries can result in aortic aneurysms.
Symptoms from these diseases range from leg pain range from leg pain during physical activity (claudication) to deterioration of skin leading to ulcers and gangrene. Treatment for these conditions may include life style changes, medications, vascular surgery or endovascular interventions, such as angioplasty or stents.
At Stamford Hospital our team includes top physicians in specialties such as vascular medicine, cardiology, vascular surgery and diagnostic and interventional cardiology. Our expertise and state-of-the-art facilities ensure patients the best possible outcome from diagnosis through treatment.
