Ongoing Vascular Management

Treatment & Management

Lifestyle & Risk Factor Management

Vascular disease can be present without obvious symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include:

• Leg pain, cramping, aching, or fatigue with walking
• Leg or foot pain at rest, particularly with advanced disease
• Coldness of a leg or foot
• Numbness or weakness
• Slow-healing sores or wounds
• Changes in skin color or temperature
• Leg swelling
• Visible or symptomatic varicose veins

Disease involving the carotid arteries may also be present without symptoms until blood flow to the brain is affected.

Sudden weakness or numbness, difficulty speaking, facial drooping, sudden vision changes, or other possible signs of a stroke require immediate medical attention.

Sudden severe leg pain, a cold or pale limb, or an abrupt loss of sensation or movement also requires immediate medical attention.

Warning Signs & Symptoms

Noninvasive evaluation of the veins for conditions including venous insufficiency and blood clots.

Lower-Extremity Venous Testing

Evaluation of the abdominal aorta, including screening and surveillance for aortic aneurysm when appropriate.

Aortic PVL / Ultrasound

Evaluation of plaque and blood flow through the carotid arteries that supply blood to the brain.

We perform noninvasive vascular testing in our office to evaluate both arterial and venous circulation.

Noninvasive evaluation of arterial blood flow to the legs.

In-Office Vascular Testing

Carotid PVL / Ultrasound

Peripheral vascular disease refers to conditions affecting the blood vessels outside the heart, including the arteries that supply blood to the brain, legs, and other parts of the body, as well as disorders affecting the veins.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) occurs when arteries become narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow—most commonly to the legs. Vascular disease can also affect the carotid arteries that supply blood to the brain and the aorta, the body’s largest artery.

Early recognition and appropriate management can help improve circulation, relieve symptoms, preserve mobility, and reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular and vascular complications, including heart attack and stroke.

What is Peripheral Vascular Disease?

Primary & Secondary Prevention

For patients with established coronary artery disease, our goal is to prevent progression and reduce the risk of heart attack and other future cardiovascular events.

Secondary Prevention

Preventing coronary artery disease before a heart attack or other cardiovascular event occurs by identifying and addressing cardiovascular risk early.
