Vascular Testing

Vascular testing refers to many different tests and procedures that measure the health of blood vessels throughout the body. This can play a crucial role in identifying and diagnosing various health conditions related to vascular health. Health conditions that can be identified via vascular testing are:

• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) 
• Deep Vain Thrombosis (DVT)
• Carotid Artery Disease (CAD)

Vascular testing is important in identifying these conditions early, as to treat them as early as possible.

PAD Vascular Testing

A simple, non-invasive test can be performed to detect potential blood flow issues.  A sensor is placed on each foot and hand for at least 15 seconds, determining a ratio between the blood volumes in the arms and legs. This ratio is called the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI).  Because many PAD cases go undetected, it is important for an individual to know their circulation status.
