Blood flow disorders refer to conditions that affect the circulation of blood throughout the body. These disorders can result from various factors, including blockages in blood vessels, abnormal blood vessel formation, or issues with the heart's pumping ability. Common examples include atherosclerosis, where arteries become narrowed due to plaque buildup, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which involves blood clots forming in deep veins, often in the legs. Symptoms of blood flow disorders can vary widely, ranging from pain and swelling to more severe complications like heart attacks or strokes. Diagnosis typically involves medical imaging and blood tests, while treatment may include medications, lifestyle changes, or surgical interventions to restore proper blood circulation.
