Angionosis

/ˌændʒioʊˈnoʊsɪs/ noun

Definition

Any disease or pathological condition affecting the blood vessels throughout the body.

Etymology

From Greek 'angeion' (vessel) + '-nosis' (disease/condition). This general medical term categorizes vascular diseases collectively, though it's fallen out of favor for more specific diagnostic terminology.

Kelly Says

Angionosis is an umbrella term that basically means 'something's wrong with your blood vessels,' but modern doctors prefer saying exactly what's wrong rather than this vague catch-all.
