The terminal phase of HVI is manifested by the appearance of wounds on the legs, the localization of which is the lower leg. The prevalence of HVI largely depends on the geographical localization. The highest incidence is in Western countries. A 50-year-old patient comes for examination due to swelling in the area of both lower legs, which was more intense when standing or sitting. Visible livid discoloration in places on the foot and around the ankle joints. Feeling of warmth in the legs, cramps. She is a textile worker by profession (who spends 8 hours in a sitting position).
