What the HHT?

“Arteriovenous malformation,” a direct connection between an artery and vein without a capillary. Blood travels through these quickly so nutrients are not delivered properly, and they are more prone to burst which causes random and potentially dangerous bleeding. AVMs are a common symptom of HHT.

The meeting place of arteries and veins. Blood travels through capillary regions slowly so that nutrients like oxygen can be delivered to the body.
