Conditions/Diseases
We've all known someone affected by heart disease, which is proof of the statistic that it's the number one cause of death in the U.S. for both men and women. Stroke and other vascular diseases are closely related to heart disease, often caused by the same risk factors.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot develops in a vein deep in the body. Deep veins are found within groups of muscles. While these clots most often develop in the lower legs or thighs, they may appear in the upper body, such as the arms or other locations in the body.
To help you determine your risk of heart and vascular disease, Beaumont has come up with many successful screening and prevention programs to help you manage your risk.
To combat cardiovascular disease, physicians and allied health care professionals often focus on modifying conventional risk factors such as cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, elevated blood cholesterol and diabetes.
An escalating body of research now provides strong evidence that at least some incidence may be attributed to the adverse effects of psychosocial stressors.
