Alternatives to sclerotherapy varicose veins

Not all malformed veins require treatment. When there are no other symptoms, it is safe to monitor the veins to see if they get worse or begin causing other symptoms.

Lifestyle changes can prevent the veins from getting worse and prevent the development of new varicose veins. Other treatment strategies may include:

• cryotherapy or freezing the veins
• laser therapy, using light to fade the veins
• vein ablation, using heat on a malformed vein
• closing the vein with surgery
• surgically removing the veins in severe cases

Takeaway

Sclerotherapy is usually a minor, noninvasive procedure to fix troublesome veins. The outlook for people after sclerotherapy is good since serious side effects are rare and it is effective.

People who are concerned about the risks and benefits of sclerotherapy should discuss the procedure with a doctor and consider seeking a second opinion. It is also wise to contact an insurer to learn whether the procedure is covered.

Swollen legs and stomach are signs of congestive heart failure!

Heart failure is the term used for the condition describing the inability of the heart to keep up with the demands on it, specifically the failure of the heart to pump blood with normal efficiency. When this occurs, the heart is unable to provide adequate blood flow to other organs such as the brain, liver and kidneys. Heart failure may be due to failure of the right or left or both ventricles. When the blood flowing out of the heart is slower in comparison to the blood being brought in through the veins, the blood starts backing up causing congestion in the tissues and organs of the body. Due to this, different parts of the body such as the liver, abdomen, legs may develop swelling or edema. Heart failures that cause this congestion are known as congestive heart failure. Reduce or blockage in regular ventricular function is characteristic of congestive heart failure.

“The most common symptoms of congestive heart failure are shortness of breath, swelling of legs especially in the evening, swelling of the abdomen or ascites, chest pain, and excessive tiredness. This condition can be caused by ailments such as coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, or primary muscle disease,” said a Senior Consultant, Interventional Cardiologist. Additionally, conditions like myocardial infarctions can compromise heart function, leading to the development of this condition. Risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and excessive intake of alcohol and tobacco can increase the chances of a person developing this condition. If left untreated, this condition could bring upon further complications such as kidney damage, liver damage, and cardiac problems. 

When treating this condition, the medical team must first address and manage the primary cause. General treatment includes a salt restricted diet and fluid restricted diet. Specific therapy, depending on the symptoms and severity include administration of drugs like ACE inhibitors, Beta blockers, Aldosterone antagonist. A pacemaker like device called cardiac resynchronization device therapy (CRT) is now available to improve the heart function. This implantable device delivers synchronized electrical stimulation to three chambers of the heart, enabling the heart to pump blood more efficiently throughout the body. Modern medical science has also facilitated the transplantation of a heart from brain-dead donors, which is a definitive way of treating congestive heart failure.

The taller you are, the more likely you may be at risk of developing blood clots in veins

The taller you are, the more likely you may be at risk of developing blood clots in veins, according to new study of more than two million siblings. The findings showed that the risk of venous thromboembolism — a type of blood clot that starts in a vein — was associated with height, with the lowest risk being in shorter participants. “Height in the population has increased, and continues increasing, which could be contributing to the fact that the incidence of thrombosis has increased,” said lead researcher. According to researcher, gravity may influence the association between height and venous thromboembolism risk.

“It could just be that because taller individuals have longer leg veins there is more surface area where problems can occur,” he said. “There is also more gravitational pressure in leg veins of taller persons that can increase the risk of blood flow slowing or temporarily stopping.” For the study,the team looked at data on more than 1.6 million men born between 1951 and 1992, and data on more than one million women who had a first pregnancy between 1982 and 2012. For men shorter than 5 feet 3 inches, the risk for venous thromboembolism dropped 65 per cent when compared to the men 6 feet 2 inches or taller.

For women shorter than 5 feet 1 inches who were pregnant for the first time, the risk for venous thromboembolism dropped 69 per cent, compared to women that were 6 feet or taller. Besides, the risk of blood clots, previous studies have linked height also with cancer, heart problems, gestational diabetes and even longevity.

Statins can prevent blood clot in veins by 25%

Using statins, commonly used to prevent heart attacks, may also have the potential to stop blood clots from forming in the veins by 25 per cent, say researchers, including one of Indian-origin.

The condition, which affects millions globally, is one of the most preventable causes of hospital deaths, the study said. 

The findings revealed that statins also known as cholesterol-lowering pills, reduces the threat of venous thromboembolism (VTE) by between 15 and 25 per cent.

"The research underscores a potential beneficial role of statin therapy on VTE in addition to its established role in cardiovascular disease prevention," said Kamlesh Khunti, Professor at the University of Leicester in the Britain. 

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the formation of blood clots in the vein. When a clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg, it is called a deep vein thrombosis or DVT. 

If that clot breaks loose and travels to the lungs, it is called a pulmonary embolism or PE.

Currently, statins are only approved for lipid lowering in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
"But they have shown great promise beyond their established lipid-lowering effects and these include potential beneficial impact on multiple disease conditions," added Setor Kunutsor from the University of Bristol in Britian. 

For the study, the team conducted an analysis of 36 studies involving more than 3.2 million people.

 The study was published in The Lancet Haematology.
