Everything About Leg Swelling and Varicose Veins: Causes, Treatment, and Prevention

May 22, 2026 by PulsMed MC 0 Comments , ,

Leg swelling is more than just a discomfort; it’s a clinical symptom that requires attention. Understanding why your legs swell is the first step towards recovery and preventing long-term damage.

Why is it happening?

  • Venous Insufficiency: When vein valves fail, blood pools in the lower legs, causing pressure and swelling.
  • Lymphedema: A condition where the lymphatic system cannot properly drain fluid, leading to persistent swelling.
  • Risk Factors: Obesity, prolonged standing, and family history significantly increase the risk of vascular issues.

Advanced Treatment at PulsMed: Our medical center offers world-class solutions for your vascular health:

  1. Vascular Duplex Ultrasound: High-precision imaging to assess vein health.

5 Common Myths About Blood Pressure Medication: Why You Should Never Stop Treatment

Mar 17, 2026 by PulsMed MC 0 Comments

Hypertension is a “silent killer” that requires constant management. At PulsMed Medical Center, we’ve highlighted the top 5 myths that put patients at risk:

Myth: “My pressure is normal now, so I can stop the pills.”
Your pressure is normal because of the medication. Stopping it will cause your blood pressure to spike again.

Myth: “I’ll become addicted to blood pressure meds.”
It’s not an addiction; it’s a vital necessity to protect your target organs—heart, brain, and kidneys.

Myth: “I only take medicine when I feel my pressure is high.”
These drugs work through a cumulative effect. For 24-hour protection, you must maintain a steady level in your bloodstream.

Myth: “Natural remedies like garlic are better than chemicals.”
While healthy, natural remedies cannot replace clinical treatments proven to prevent strokes and heart attacks.

Myth: “My neighbor’s medicine worked for her, so I’ll take that.”
Treatment is highly individual. Never take medication not prescribed specifically for you.

PulsMed’s Advice: Abruptly stopping your medication can lead to a “rebound effect,” significantly increasing the risk of a heart attack or stroke. Always consult our cardiologist before making any changes.

Heart Attack and Stroke: How to Prevent Disaster Before It’s Too Late

Mar 9, 2026 by PulsMed MC 0 Comments

Health is our most precious asset, yet we often begin to value it only after it’s gone. For years, cardiovascular diseases—specifically heart attacks and strokes—have remained the leading causes of death worldwide. But here is the good news: 80% of these cases can be prevented through timely action and lifestyle changes.

How can you protect yourself and your loved ones? Here are the essential rules that should become an inseparable part of your life:

1. The Silent Killers: Blood Pressure and Cholesterol
High blood pressure and “bad” cholesterol often show no symptoms until they push the body to a critical state.

  • The Solution: Get a blood test and check your blood pressure at least once a year. It takes only 15 minutes but can literally save your life.

2. Nutrition: Your Heart’s Ally
What you eat today determines the health of your arteries five years from now. Reduce your intake of salt, sugar, and unhealthy fats. Instead, enrich your diet with Omega-3 fatty acids and fresh vegetables.

3. Activity Without Excuses
Your heart is a muscle that needs constant training. Just 30 minutes of brisk walking or swimming a day improves blood circulation and strengthens arterial walls.

4. Stress and Sleep: The Overlooked Factors
Chronic stress and lack of sleep “corrode” the heart from within. Learn to unwind and allow your body to recover. Quality sleep is not a luxury—it is a vital necessity.

Why wait for the first symptoms?
Many people seek medical help only when the pain becomes unbearable. But in the case of a heart attack or stroke, every second counts. Real care begins with prevention.

At PulsMed Medical Center, we have designed comprehensive cardiovascular Check-up packages that allow you to get a complete picture of your health in just a single visit.

Don’t put your health off until tomorrow. Let professionals care for your heart today so you can enjoy a full life tomorrow.

What is vascular duplex or ultrasound examination of vessels and where is it best to do it in Yerevan?

Mar 21, 2025 by PulsMed MC 0 Comments

Vascular duplex scanning (ultrasound examination of vessels, duplex/triplex, angioscanning, ultrasound Doppler) is a non-invasive ultrasound diagnostic method that allows you to assess the condition of the vessels and blood flow in them.

Vascular duplex is performed in two modes:

🔹Normal B-mode (allows you to assess the condition of the vessels).
🔹Doppler mode, ultrasound Doppler (blood flow characteristics are determined).

During duplex scanning of vessels, the following parameters are assessed:

-Anatomical structure of arteries and veins
-Structural changes in the lumen and walls (narrowing, expansion, blockage, presence of blood clots, atherosclerotic plaques)
-patency of vessels , -blood flow speed and direction,
-Intimate-media complex,
-atherosclerotic changes in arterial walls.

Types of duplex scanning performed at the Pulse.Med clinic

🔸Vessels of the lower extremities (arteries and veins, simultaneously or separately)
🔸Vessels of the upper extremities (arteries and veins, simultaneously or separately)
🔸Duplex scanning of the vessels of the head and neck (ecstracranial part)
🔸Duplex of the vessels of the scrotum and penis
🔸Duplex scanning of the abdominal aorta and vessels of the abdominal cavity
🔸Duplex scanning of the renal vessels
