Future Demands for Vascular Care: A Census-Based Analysis

Changing population size and distribution, incidence of disease and risk factors, and the likelihood of need for care partly determines the demands for health care in the future. The introduction of advanced technology, patient and society's expectations, the growing at-risk population, and increased recognition of risk factors have impacted on vascular disease management. Studies in many countries predict a dramatic increase in the need for care for vascular issues. A “business as usual” model predicts a large increase in the medical manpower requirements to meet this.
