The Link Between Heart Health and Wound Healing

The heart is the center of your circulatory system, and is responsible for delivering oxygen rich blood throughout the body. Coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and other issues with the heart and vessels can hinder blood flow, oxygen and nutrition to a wound. Royal Wound Care reminds you that a healthy heart is a leading factor in wound healing.
