Abstract

Venous obstruction and reflux are the two pathologies that lead to venous hypertension, which causes the sequelae of chronic venous disease (CVD). Despite the high prevalence of CVD and the number of studies that have been performed in this area, the etiology of CVD is poorly understood (1). The challenge to the clinician is to find a method of reliably evaluating a patient for CVD. The physical examination is useful. Many of the signs and symptoms of CVD can be detected by physical examination, but physical examination alone isinadequate.
