Abstract
- Functional chronic venous disease (FCVD; C0 category of clinical manifestation, etiology, anatomic distribution, and pathophysiology classifications) is an underestimated syndrome that affects up to 20% of the general population. FCVD is based on the presence of venous symptoms without instrumental evidence of anatomical or morphological changes. The prevalence of FCVD is underestimated owing to a lack of awareness in Western countries. Given the inflammatory nature of FCVD, we speculate that noninvasive treatments including vasoactive drugs and elastic stockings would easily relieve C0 symptoms.
