Peripheral venous disease results from: ( x2)

• Valvular incompetence (venous insufficiency) • Obstruction to flow - venous thrombosis Thrombophlebitis of the communicating veins with destruction of the valves lead to venous insufficiency

Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5 Grade 6

•Grade 1 - faint and can be easily missed; requires diligence • Grade 2 - soft but easily heard • Grade 3 - moderately loud, easily heard • Grade 4- - loud and associated with a palpable thrill • Grade 5 - very loud and may be heard with stethoscope partly off the chest • Grade 6 - very loud and heard with stethoscope off the chest
