Chronic Venous Insufficiency: a Frequently Underdiagnosed and Undertreated Pathology
Marilena SPIRIDON and Dana CORDUNEANU
ABSTRACT
The article describes the medical approach of a frequent pathology, chronic venous insufficiency.
Chronic venous insufficiency requires early diagnosis as well as an evaluation of the associated risk factors; also, patients need to understand the disease and its treatment, and to become compliant with all their physician’s recommendations. Importantly, the physician should correctly evaluate the disease and decide the best option for the patient.
These days, it is crucial that the patient benefits from optimal treatment choice in order to prevent complications.
CVI is a potentially severe pathology that has been underdiagnosed and undertreated for a long time and requires patience from the patient as well as care from the physician.
