Vascular Studies at Arkansas Heart Center
At Arkansas Heart Center, we offer vascular studies for patients looking for a more noninvasive procedure. This procedure will access the blood flow within your arteries and veins through a microphone like a device that sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a too high frequency to be heard. The ultrasonic waves will move through the skin and other blood vessels, echoing off the blood cells allowing our team to pick up the sound through an amplifier. Vascular studies will let our team asses your blood flow throughout your veins.
Reasons for Vascular Studies
- Leg pain and weakness during exertion (known as intermittent claudication)
- Swelling
- Soreness, tenderness, redness, and warmth in the leg(s)
- Pale and cool skin; may even be grayish or blue
- Numbness or tingling
- Rest pain (pain in the foot that occurs when sitting or lying down and is relieved by standing)
