Vascular diseases encompass conditions affecting the network of blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries, often leading to reduced blood flow. Common types include atherosclerosis, varicose veins, and deep vein thrombosis. Risk factors for vascular diseases include smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
