Vasculopathies
DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
General term for etiologically different vascular diseases. It is increasingly used in the literature for primarily non-inflammatory vascular diseases which are accompanied by a partial or complete occlusion of a vessel (e.g. livedo racemosa; see livedovasculopathy below). This definition distinguishes the term " vasculitis" from the term " vasculitis" as an inflammatory disease which primarily or within the framework of an underlying disease affects the vascular system.
