Vascular Testing
Vascular testing is an important area we dedicate time and resources to at Ocean State Cardiovascular & Vein. Vascular tests and studies are performed with a mind to check and understand the blood flow in your veins. These tests are noninvasive; instead, they are executed by using high-frequency sound waves that measure how much blood is flowing within your veins and arteries.
Some of the benefits that come with vascular testing include:
- Confirming whether you are actually experiencing a decrease in blood flow to the extremities
- Help diagnose the problem at hand
- Determining the proper course of action if an issue is present
Ocean State Cardiovascular & Vein offers four different types of vascular tests:
- Comprehensive vascular and venous clinical evaluation
- Venous duplex U/S
- Pulse volume recordings/ankle-brachial index
- Arterial duplex U/S examination
