Peripheral vascular evaluation at the Vascular Clinic Vargas and Morelli

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a peripheral vascular examination?

A peripheral vascular examination is a set of tests performed to evaluate the condition of the arteries and veins outside the heart and brain.

These tests help detect any signs of narrowing, blockage or inflammation of the blood vessels that can lead to serious complications such as arteriosclerosis or thrombosis.

How to evaluate peripheral circulation?

Peripheral circulation is assessed by several diagnostic tests including the ankle-brachial index, which compares the blood pressure in the ankles with the blood pressure in the arms, and vascular ultrasound, which allows visualization of how blood flows through the blood vessels.

These methods help to identify obstructions or narrowing that may affect circulation.

What does peripheral vascular disease mean?

Peripheral vascular disease refers to any condition that affects the circulatory system outside the heart and brain.

This includes problems in the arteries and veins that prevent normal blood flow, which can result in pain, skin changes, ulcers, and in severe cases, the need for amputation.

What is peripheral vascular assessment?

Peripheral vascular assessment is similar to peripheral vascular examination and refers to the process of examining the extremities of the body to ensure that blood circulation is functioning properly.

It includes noninvasive tests such as Doppler ultrasound, ankle-brachial index, and other imaging techniques to measure blood pressure in various parts of the extremities.
