Vericose veins and deep vein thrombosis what is the difference
Varicose vein and deep vein thrombosis are two diseases that are often heard or read in news or magazines. Obviously, they are both diseases of the vein. But what exactly are they? What are the differences between these two venous conditions? Veins carry blood from the circulation back to the heart to be exchanged for oxygen. Due to gravity, pooling of blood at lower parts of the body, such as the feet, can occur. Hence, frequent and long duration of standing or immobilization of the legs is likely to cause development of varicose vein or deep vein thrombosis, depending on which vein is involved.http://ping.fm/iiLFD
