Influences of vascular orientations on QoL of individuals with CVD

Chronic lower limb venous disease is characterised by a state of hypertension of the venous system. This hypertension, which is caused by an insufficiency and/or obstruction of the deep venous system, becomes the real responsible for the appearance of the clinical symptoms of the disease. It is a vascular disease which affects a large part of the world's population, with significant morbidity and causing great socioeconomic impact, constituting a serious public health problem also due to its high prevalence. Orientations such as the performance of adequate physical activities, control of risk factors (smoking, obesity, etc.), may interfere in several ways, changing the way they live with CVD. The evaluation of the importance of guidance on quality of life has been considered an important criterion, when verifying the impact of these chronic diseases on people's daily lives and the effectiveness of treatments and interventions in the health area.
