Vascular Stroke Screening

Vascular stroke screening employs ultrasound technology to assess blood vessel health and identify potential issues that may elevate stroke risk. It comprises tests such as abdominal aortic aneurysm ultrasound, carotid artery ultrasound and non-invasive evaluations of leg arteries.

With the help of vascular stroke screening, doctors can detect blockages or arterial narrowing. This enables them to take preventive measures to lower stroke risk. The scan is particularly suitable for individuals with elevated risk factors, including high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes.

Furthermore, this test integrates several vascular ultrasound examinations. The commonly included scans are:

• Abdominal aorta
• Carotid duplex
• Arterial assessment of both leg arteries.
