Abstract
Purpose of review: This review will focus on comprehensive evaluation of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), nuances in diagnostic testing and advances in medical therapies to provide improvement in patient specific outcomes.
Recent findings: Chronic venous insufficiency of the lower extremities represents an often underrecognized source of morbidity. Comprehensive evaluation focuses on personal and family history of deep vein thrombosis and varicose veins. Diagnostic testing is initially with a thorough duplex ultrasound, but advanced imaging with CT scan and MRV may be indicated in selected patients who might benefit from more invasive intervention. Compression therapy, wraps and garments, remains the mainstay of conservative therapy for patients with CVI. In addition, there is renewed interest in lifestyle and nutritional supplements, most commonly micronized purified flavanoid fraction (MPFF), in relieving symptoms and preventing morbidity. A holistic approach to patients with CVI provides the best opportunity for enduring improvement in quality of life.
期刊介绍：
The aim of this journal is to provide timely perspectives from experts on current advances in cardiovascular medicine. We also seek to provide reviews that highlight the most important recently published papers selected from the wealth of available cardiovascular literature.
We accomplish this aim by appointing key authorities in major subject areas across the discipline. Section editors select topics to be reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published over the past year. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
