PY - 2011 T2 - Venous and Lymphatic Diseases AB - Venous and lymphatic circulation is an essential component of the vascular system. When one considers disorders of extremity circulation, arterial insufficiently usually comes to mind. However, an adequate peripheral vascular circulation must also include a healthy venous and lymphatic system, which is extremely important to complete the cycle. A healthy heart with normal cardiac pump ejection fraction is also, of course, an essential component of healthy circulation. Congestive heart failure, other organ system failures, and many other conditions may contribute to limb swelling in patients with venous hypertension or lymphatic obstruction.
