Prevention Programs

Vascular Disease Prevention 

Vascular disease can affect anyone at any time. While many times a person's vulnerability to vascular disease may run in the family, there are some risk factors you can control, such as excessive cholesterol, leading a sedentary lifestyle, and smoking. 
 

Vista Vascular is dedicated to offer vascular care that emphasises prevention. You can identify and change your risk factors for vascular disease with the assistance of a vascular physicist. Information in this section can encourage high-risk individuals to make substantial efforts to maintain lifestyles that support a healthy vascular system. There are programmes for weight loss and exercise, lowering cholesterol, and quitting smoking. 
 

Exercise and Weight Reduction Programs   

By enhancing blood circulation in the peripheral vascular system and supporting the maintenance of a healthy blood pressure and body weight, regular moderate exercise promotes vascular health. The greatest way to maintain a healthy weight is to combine exercise with a proper diet. Before starting a new workout regimen, always consult your doctor.  

Cholesterol Reduction Programs 

Atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of plaque in the blood vessels, and vascular disorders can be brought on by high blood cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolemia). Vascular health depends on maintaining healthy blood levels of "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein, or HDL) and "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL). While heredity can influence blood cholesterol levels, dietary adjustments, regular exercise, and in some cases the use of cholesterol-lowering drugs can all help.  
 

Smoking Cessation Programs

Today, the majority of individuals are aware that smoking is a significant risk factor for the majority of vascular and heart disorders, including stroke, aortic aneurysms, carotid artery disease, and lower extremity vascular disease. 
 

Speak to your doctor about techniques to stop smoking if you're attempting to quit. 


Who should be screened?  
The Problem Vascular disease can: 

  • cause the major body artery to develop potentially fatal aneurysms (aorta)
  • Blockage of the carotid arteries in the brain causes strokes,
  • Impair the circulation in the legs leading to serious disability Often, these conditions do not produce symptoms 

Early vascular disease detection has great value  - it can significantly reduce the risks of subsequent death and disability from vascular disease. 

Our screening program involves the following four, painless, noninvasive tests: 

  • Clinical Examination of Vascular System
  • Ankle Brachial Index (Test of blood flow in the legs)
  • Carotid Duplex (Carotid Artery Ultrasound Scan)
  • Abdominal Duplex (Aorta Ultrasound Scan) 

People over 60 with one or more of the following risk factors: 

  • Diabetes
  • High Blood Pressure
  • High Cholesterol
  • Smoking
  • Coronary (Heart) Artery Disease
  • Family History of Vascular Disease*
  • Prior Stroke or "Mini" Stroke
  • Known peripheral (non-cardiac) vascular disease
