Did you know many vascular diseases show no symptoms until it’s too late? An arterial and venous Doppler study can identify blood flow issues early—before they become serious. Dr. Juan Carlos Peralvo, a Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon in Cuenca, explains why this test is essential for your circulatory health.
What is a Doppler study?
The Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive exam that uses sound waves to evaluate blood flow in your arteries and veins. It can detect:
- Arterial blockages
- Venous insufficiency or varicose veins
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Aneurysms
When should you get a Doppler?
It is recommended for people with:
- Leg pain or heaviness
- Visible varicose veins or swelling
- Cardiovascular risk factors (diabetes, hypertension, smoking)
- Family history of vascular diseases
- Poor circulation symptoms: cramps, tingling, color changes
Benefits of a preventive vascular check-up
