I79.2: Peripheral angiopathy in diseases classified elsewhere

Another condition has damaged your blood vessels.

Various conditions can damage blood vessels. Deposits of fat and calcium can form in the blood vessels as a result, for example. The damage or deposits can narrow the blood vessels. This can affect the blood circulation. For example, wounds may consequently not heal as well. The organs may then receive a poorer blood supply. It can also result in a heart attack or a stroke, for example. The kidneys, eyes or skin may also be affected by the circulatory disorders.
