Cardiovascular Disease [Part 1] Intro + Peripheral Vascular Disease

The video provides an overview of cardiovascular disease, focusing on its three main types: coronary artery disease, cerebral vascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (PVD). It explains how these conditions are interconnected and discusses the specific manifestations of PVD, including peripheral arterial disease, chronic venous insufficiency, and lymphatic issues. The video also covers symptoms like intermittent claudication and diagnostic methods such as the walking test and capillary refill test.

How does chronic venous insufficiency differ from peripheral arterial disease?

What is the role of the lymphatic system in relation to peripheral vascular disease?

Explain the concept of impaired capillary refill and its relevance to peripheral vascular disease.

Discuss the importance of peripheral pulses in diagnosing peripheral vascular disease.
