Circulation must be taken very seriously, because they are precursors of life-threatening diseases (heart attack, stroke, diabetes). Circulatory disorders as a result of narrowed blood vessels can occur in the context of arteriosclerosis, so a hardening of the arteries. This happens mostly with age or due to lack of exercise and an unhealthy way of life. The typical diseases caused by a circulatory disorder are coronary heart disease or the peripheral arterial Occlusive Disease. In coronary heart disease of the heart muscle is insufficient blood flow. In the peripheral arterial disease, which is also called Schaufensterkrankheit, the legs are inadequately irrigated. Usually pain in the affected areas occurs just at the Schaufensterkrankheit those affected due to the underserved muscles can overcome more usually no long distances on foot, without pausing. Circulatory disorders can however also other numerous places in the body arise.
They are caused mostly by hardening of the arteries, vascular occlusions or vascular inflammation. Symptoms of circulatory disorder that symptoms may be very different depending on the location and progress of perfusion. Circulation of extremities go mostly with numbness, pain, pallor, cold, muscle paralysis or weakness or loss of pulse is accompanied by. Advanced circulatory disorders cause severe tissue damage. The heart muscle is affected triggered this usually pain in the chest and subsequently a tightness in the chest. Circulatory disorders of the heart muscle can trigger a heart attack. By avoiding risk factors such as smoking, obesity, lack of exercise and a poor diet, it can prevent circulation following a hardening of the arteries.
