Buerger's disease is a circulatory disease that is
brought on by chronic inflammation of the blood vessels in the
extremities. Also called thromboangiitis obliterans , Buerger's
disease is most common with people who smoke. It normally affects the
foot or lower leg, but it may occur in the hand, arm, or thigh as
well. Early signs of Buerger’s disease are a tingling sensation like
"pin pricks" and a burning sensation in the fingers and
toes. It can lead to ulceration and gangrene; in severe cases,
amputation may be required. There are other disorders associated with
circulatory problems. When plaque or fatty deposits form along the
walls of the arteries, it causes them to harden and constrict. Hypertension,
or high blood pressure, results because the blood exerts greater force
against the walls of the narrowed and/or more rigid blood
vessels. Hypertension can lead to stroke, angina pectoris (chest
pain), kidney damage, and heart attack.
Another serious circulatory condition is Raynaud's
phenomenon , which is characterized by constriction and
spasm of the blood vessels in the body extremities, like fingers,
toes, and tip of the nose. Cold, stress, smoking, and other factors
may cause fingers and toes to become numb; extremities may appear
colorless or bluish due to lack of circulation and arterial spasm.
This disease most commonly affects women and sometimes may lead
to gangrene. Poor circulation can also result from varicose
veins, which develop because of a loss and weakening of elasticity
in the vein walls.
