Advancements and future prospects in the study of panvascular disease

Abstract

Panvascular disease is characterized by the involvement of blood vessels across multiple regions of the body, and is associated with high morbidity, disability, and mortality rates. Its pathogenesis is multifaceted, necessitating risk assessment and treatment approaches that differ from those applied to single-organ diseases. Given that panvascular disease affects multiple vital organs, an integrated, multi-system management strategy offers significant advantages over conventional, organ-specific approaches. This article provides a comprehensive review of the epidemiological features, traditional and emerging risk factors, pathophysiological mechanisms, screening and risk assessment methods, as well as new strategies for the prevention and management of panvascular disease. The objective is to offer a theoretical foundation and technical support for enhancing prevention and control measures for this condition.
