Angiology

The term ‘angiology’ comes from Ancient Greek ‘aggeio/angio’ (vessel) and ‘logos’ (speech) and refers to vascular science. Angiology is the study, diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases, i.e. diseases of the arteries, veins, lymphatic vessels and microcirculation. These four types of veins present their own diseases and risk factors.
