With the ultrasound of the leg arteries we discover early arteriosclerotic changes in the arteries. The patients are advised about preventive measures, warned about the arteriosclerosis risk factors and in case of larger, more significant changes, about the treatment.
When should you decide to undergo an ultrasound of the leg arteries?
- If you are experiencing leg pain and you do not know why,
- in case of trouble walking (when it is difficult to walk short distances),
- in case of leg pain, when we are still,
- to monitor the efficiency of the vascular system surgery results,
- to assess the condition of potential arteriosclerotic changes in patients with arteriosclerosis risk factors.
Vascular system diseases affect men as well as women. The preventive examination is recommended after the age of forty. It is especially appropriate for smokers, diabetics, people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and genetically predisposed people.
