Venous hypertension
In medicine, venous hypertension is an increased pressure of the blood in the venous system of the legs. The cause is typically chronic venous insufficiency . The term does not include the increase in central venous pressure , but only that of the peripheral venous system.
The measurement of venous hypertension is primarily carried out directly, as a measurement by puncturing the veins on the back of the foot (with the patient standing).
