GlossaryChronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)

veins in legs struggle to return blood to heart

Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a medical condition where the veins in the legs are unable to efficiently return blood to the heart, often due to damaged or weakened valves. This can lead to symptoms such as swelling, pain, varicose veins, and skin changes, and if left untreated, it may result in ulcers or more severe complications.
