Today affecting over 25 million people, vascular diseases are the major
causes of death and disability in the United States. The prevalence of
vascular disease is expected to increase as the population ages.
Novel technologies provide opportunities for earlier and more accurate
diagnosis. New discoveries in vascular biology and pathophysiology have
increased our understanding of atherosclerosis, thrombosis and vasculitis
and are being translated to therapeutics at a rapid pace and results in
substantial opportunities for early diagnosis and effective treatment
of many vascular diseases today.
