Angioparesis

Angioparesis is a pathological condition characterized by a weakening of the tone and contractile function of blood vessels.

The term "angioparesis" is derived from two roots: "angio-" - related to blood vessels and "paresis" - weakening, relaxation.

The reasons for the development of angioparesis can be various, including:

1. Neurogenic disorders of the innervation of the vascular wall
2. Endocrine diseases (eg, hypothyroidism)
3. Intoxication
4. Taking certain medications
5. Ischemic vascular lesions

Clinically, angioparesis is manifested by a decrease in blood pressure, microcirculation disorders, and peripheral edema.

To diagnose angioparesis, laboratory and instrumental studies are performed: blood tests, vascular ultrasound, rheovasography, etc.

Treatment of angioparesis is aimed at eliminating the underlying disease that caused this complication. Vasodilators, hormonal drugs, and vitamin therapy may be prescribed.
