Vascular disease typically results from a narrowing of the blood vessels often caused by a buildup of fatty deposits known as plaque. In addition to affecting blood flow to your heart and brain, vascular disease also can disrupt the flow of blood to your arms, legs and other parts of your body.

Vascular disease affects 20 million people in the United States; it can afflict people of any age, but most commonly occurs in people in their 50s, 60s and 70s. People who have certain medical conditions such as diabetes and renal failure or a long history of cigarette smoking may be more likely to develop vascular disease.
