Introduction
Your circulatory system plays a crucial role in keeping every organ functioning properly. Yet, many vascular diseases develop silently and only show symptoms at advanced stages. Regular vascular health checkups can help detect problems early and avoid major complications.
Dr. Juan Carlos Peralvo, a Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon in Cuenca, Ecuador, uses advanced tools like arterial and venous Doppler ultrasounds to ensure precise evaluations.
What Is an Arterial and Venous Doppler?
Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to evaluate blood flow. It can identify:
- Arterial blockages that could lead to ischemia or infarction.
- Venous insufficiency that causes varicose veins or swelling.
- Arterial narrowing or aneurysms.
- Venous reflux in the lower limbs.
Who Should Get a Vascular Checkup?
A checkup is strongly recommended for individuals with:
- Diabetes or high blood pressure
- Smoking habits
- History of thrombosis or varicose veins
- Leg pain while walking (claudication)
- Numbness or discoloration in limbs
Timely Diagnosis Can Save Lives
Early detection helps prevent:
- Strokes
