6 PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY More than 30 million Americans suffer from varicose veins or a more serious form of venous disease called Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). 1 Of the over 30 million Americans affected: Only 1.9 million seek treatment annually. 1,2 The vast majority remain undiagnosed and untreated. CVI Prevalence 1,2* 30,000,000+ Seek Treatment *2 1,900,000 Treated 447,000 2 *Statistics based on individuals over the age of 40 1 Gloviczki P, et al.

(1,2) The physical impairment observed with venous ulceration (C5 and C6) has been shown to be similar to that observed with congestive heart failure and chronic lung disease. (3) 1.
