Angiosis

/ændʒiˈoʊsɪs/ noun

Definition

Any pathological condition or disease state affecting blood vessels or the vascular system.

Etymology

From Greek 'angion' (vessel) + '-osis' (condition, disease state). This is a general medical term for vascular pathology, similar to angiopathy but emphasizing disease processes.

Kelly Says

Like many medical terms ending in '-osis,' angiosis is the general umbrella term—it covers everything from varicose veins to blood clots, basically any condition where your blood vessel system isn't working right.
