What Are Vascular Ultrasounds?
Vascular ultrasounds, also known as echocardiograms, are a diagnostic tool used by cardiologists to assess the health of your major arteries. Vascular ultrasounds can provide detailed images of your heart, as well as the aorta, carotid arteries, leg arteries, and veins in your arms and legs. The images created are used to diagnose blockages, blood clots, and other abnormalities of your arteries and veins.
What to Expect During Your Vascular Ultrasound
Vascular ultrasounds are noninvasive and painless. During the procedure, ultrasound gel is applied to the skin and a special transducer probe is used to detect sound waves that are reflected from within your body. These sound waves create images that are viewed on a monitor in real-time. The entire procedure usually takes less than an hour.
Benefits of Vascular Ultrasounds
Vascular ultrasound is a safe noninvasive procedure that can provide detailed images of your body’s vascular system. It can help diagnose and monitor conditions that can lead to stroke or heart attack. It is also used to spot problems early, which allows for prompt treatment and can help prevent serious complications.
