Purpose of review: Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are one of the most common forms of chronic wounds and with nearly half the people having recurrent episodes, this significantly impacts a patient's quality of life. As such, VLU is a chronic disease that requires lifelong maintenance and awareness. A correct diagnosis of VLU is essential for management.
Recent findings: VLUs can be of mixed etiology and treatment should be aimed at optimizing the underlying venous hypertension based on its cause. If there is an anatomical venous reflux contributing to the non-healing of the VLU, early treatment of incompetent veins can improve healing rates. All aspects contributing to the patient's ongoing venous hypertension should be addressed to provide appropriate treatment. This can include venous interventions but also through conservative measures. Patient education and their engagement in their own care is essential for good outcomes.
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.
