Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists

Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists VCS physicians believe in preventing heart disease just as strongly as they believe in diagnosing it.

Vascular disease often develops silently, but it doesn't have to stay that way.

Talk to your doctor about a vascular screening if you notice:
- Swelling in the ankles or legs
- Skin discoloration on the lower legs
- Leg cramps or pain when walking
- Wounds on the feet or toes that won't heal
- Varicose veins
- Aching or heaviness in the legs

Smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, and family history all raise your risk. The earlier it's caught, the better your outcome.
Ask VCS about the right screening for you.

From Dr. David Gilligan: "Stay as active as you can for as long as you can, eat well, live fully—and may the very best of Irish luck be with you.

That's the advice I've given my patients for 25 years, and it's how I'll close this chapter too. After a wonderful career at Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists, I am retiring this July 31st.

I have a personal message for my patients at the link in comments, and an introduction to the exceptional physicians at VCS who will be there for your heart every step of the way."
