Oxidative Stress in the Pathophysiology of Chronic Venous Disease: An Overview
2025
Overview
Chronic venous disease (CVD) and its major manifestation, varicose veins (VV) of the lower limbs, is a common, multifactorial disease that affects a significant percentage of adult and elderly people worldwide. Its prevalence has been constantly increasing with the aging of the population and, particularly, with the obesity pandemic (hence, the term ‘phlebesity’). The major pathophysiological mechanisms that are potentiating each other in a vicious cycle, leading to chronic venous hypertension, are represented by endothelial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, impaired hemodynamics, and venous wall remodeling. Oxidative stress is another pathomechanism responsible for CVD and its complications, with the increased generation of reactive oxygen species and decreased antioxidant defense being reported to contribute to VV formation. Herein, we present evidence for the role of impaired redox homeostasis as pathophysiological mechanism responsible for chronic local and systemic oxidative stress in patients with CVD.
