  2. Chronic venous insufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_venous_insufficiency

    Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a medical condition characterized by blood pooling in the veins, leading to increased pressure and strain on the vein walls. [1] The most common cause of CVI is superficial venous reflux, which often results in the formation of varicose veins , a treatable condition. [ 2 ]

  3. CHIVA method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIVA_method

    CHIVA method is a type of surgery used to treat varicose veins that occur as a result of long term venous insufficiency. [1] The term is a French acronym for Conservatrice Hémodynamique de l'Insuffisance Veineuse en Ambulatoire (ambulatory conservative hemodynamic treatment venous insufficiency).

  4. Inferior vena cava syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_vena_cava_syndrome

    Edema of the lower extremities (peripheral edema), caused by an increase in the venous blood pressure. Tachycardia. This is caused by the decreased preload and subsequent decreased cardiac output, and leads to a compensatory heart rate increase. In pregnant women, signs of fetal hypoxia and distress may be seen in the cardiotocography.

  5. Thoracic outlet syndrome - Wikipedia

    There are three main types: neurogenic, venous, and arterial. [1] The neurogenic type is the most common and presents with pain, weakness, paraesthesia, and occasionally loss of muscle at the base of the thumb. [1] [2] The venous type results in swelling, pain, and possibly a bluish coloration of the arm. [2]

  6. Veinoplus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veinoplus

    Veinoplus activates the calf muscular pump which is responsible for 80% of the venous return. The pulsating calf contractions compress deep veins and pump the venous blood against gravity towards the heart. We can highlight 3 principal hemodynamic effects: [1] [5] [6] removal of venous stasis; increase of venous outflow in terms of volume and ...

  7. Skeletal muscle pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_muscle_pump

    The skeletal muscle pump is vital in negating orthostatic intolerance when standing. [2] When moving upright, the blood volume moves to the peripheral parts of the body. To combat this, the muscles involved in standing contract and help to bring venous blood volume to the heart.

    Blood flow restriction training / Occlusion Training (also abbreviated BFR training [1]) or Occlusion Training or KAATSU is an exercise and rehabilitation modality where resistance exercise, aerobic exercise or physical therapy movements are performed while using an Occlusion Cuff which is applied to the proximal aspect of the muscle on either the arms or legs.
