Vascular Testing
HeartFirst MD's expertise extends to the vascular system with a nationally accredited vascular lab.
We are proud to provide the following non-invasive vascular testing through our accredited lab:
- Carotid Duplex - for evaluation of patients with new carotid bruits or symptoms of cerebrovascular disease. Patients with documented carotid disease can be placed on an annual surveillance program
- Carotid Artery Intimal Medial Thickness (CIMT) - for stroke risk evaluation
- Aortoiliac Duplex - for evaluation of patients with claudication or suspected aortic or iliac artery aneurysms. Patients with documented aneurysms can be placed on annual surveillance protocols as indicated
- Lower Extremity Duplex - for evaluation of patients with claudication and for routine annual surveillance of patients with lower extremity bypass grafts
- Upper Extremity Duplex - for examination of suspected subclavian or brachial artery stenosis
- Venous Duplex - for evaluation of DVT
- Exercise Ankle: Brachial Index - to evaluate for the presence of a vascular component of exertional leg pain
