![]() Dr. Rajan Bhatt has served as a cardiologist with the Spectrum Dermatology & Vein Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, since 2010. Always working to advance the field of heart-related medicine, Dr. Rajan Bhatt is a member of the American Heart Association. According to a recent study that appeared in Circulation, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association, children who suffer from abuse or experience other significant adversities have a higher risk of developing heart disease later in life. The study researchers found that children who experience traumatic situations are more likely to be obese, develop high blood pressure, and be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes--all of which are risk factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. One of the researchers who participated in this study, Shakira Suglia, Sc.D., noted the irony that these children, who already experience situations that are hard to fathom, are now faced with the further burden of being more likely to develop cardiovascular disease as they get older. The research highlights the need for interventions to help children in these situations so that they can have healthier futures.

![]() A cardiologist at Spectrum Dermatology & Vein Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, Dr. Rajan Bhatt holds a doctor of medicine, MBA in finance and strategy, and master’s degree in medical sciences from various institutions. Dr. Rajan Bhatt leverages these degrees and his medical experience to provide comprehensive treatment options for spider and varicose veins. Below are three common myths about varicose veins: 1. They are only a cosmetic problem. In many cases, varicose veins are only a cosmetic issue, but not all cases of varicose veins are cosmetic. Under 10 percent of people with varicose veins experience skin discoloration, skin thickening, and bleeding. These symptoms increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis. 2. Spider and varicose veins are the same. People often use the terms “spider veins” and “varicose veins” interchangeably, but they refer to two different conditions. Spider veins are usually small and are red or purple in color. Varicose veins are blue and cause the vein to bulge where it is damaged. 3. Crossing your legs causes varicose veins. Individuals do not increase their risk of developing varicose veins when they cross their legs while sitting. Instead, this condition is usually the result of heredity, pregnancy, obesity, or weight gain. They also normally appear when people are older; however, there are some exceptions to this. |
