| Refers to diseased peripheral arteries. It is a type of atherosclerosis and often named after the artery that is affected. | PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE |
| Refers to problems in the peripheral veins. Common are thrombophlebitis, varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. | PERIPHERAL VENOUS DISORDERS |
| Type of pain associated with arterial insufficiency which occurs with activity and relieved by rest. | INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION |
| Type of pain associated with arterial insufficiency that occurs with rest and is relieved when the extremity is placed in a dependant position. | REST PAIN |
| PERIPHERAL SIGNS OF PVD | Pulselessness, Paralysis, Parasthesia, Pain or loss of sensory nerves, Pallor, Polar |
| An occlusive vascular disease where vessels can become spastic or thrombotic. Inflammation of all arteries or all veins leads to obstruction from swelling. | BUERGER'S DISEASE |
| Intermittent attacks of pallor followed by cyanosis. Occurs secondary to occlusive arterial disease, systemic sclerodoma. | RAYNAUD'S PHENOMENON |
| DX after 3 years of intermittent attacks with no identifiable cause. This includes Bilateral involvement of extremeties. There is abnormal vasoconstriction of the extremities on exposure to cold or emotional stress. | RAYNAUD'S DISEASE |
| An abnormal dilation of a blood vessel. | ANEURYSM |
| A venous circulation disorder where a blood clod forms on the wall of a vein and partially or completely occludes the flow of blood back to the heart. This almost always occurs in the veins of extremeties. | THROMBOPHEBITIS |
| Virchow's Triad Conditions | Venous Stasis, Hypercoagulation, Vascular Wall Injury. (Associate with THROMBOPHLEBITIS) |
| DVT - DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS | Inflammatory process, primarily form in lower extremities. DETECT by HOMAN"S SIGN |
| An inflammation of a more superficial vein closer to the surface; this condition is accompanied by a formation of a stationary clot within the vein. | SUPERFICIAL THROMBOPHLEBITIS |
| A disorder involving the stasis of blood int he lower extremity as a result of obstruction and reflux of venous valves. | CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY |
| Irregular, tortuous veins with incompetent valves. | VARICOSE VEINS |
| Primary or secondary disorder resulting from inflammation, obstruction or removal of lymphatic vessels. | LYMPHEDEMA |
| Idiopathic Lymphedema which affects females more frequently than males. May be associated with a genetic disorder or Aplasia, Hypoplasia or Hyperplasia. | PRIMARY LYMPHEDEMA |
| APLASIA | Having no lymph vessels. |
| HYPOPLASIA | Smaller than normal lymph vessels. |
| HYPERPLASIA | Larger or more numerous lymph vessels. |
| Acquired condition resulting from damage obstruction or removal of lymphatic vessels | SECONDAY LYMPHEDEMA |
| Inflammation of the lymph vessels draining an infected area of the body, will see a red streak along inflammed vessels, pain and heat. | LYMPHANGITIS |
| An infection of the dermis or SubQ tissue. | CELLULITIS |
| Metastic tumor cells invade the lymph nodes, chronic pronounced by hypertrophy of the skin and subQ tissue resulting from the obstruction of lymphatic vessels. Infection by filiarial parasites. | ELEPHANTIASIS |
