Vascular screening
Cardiovascular Screening Package 1 (40 – 80 minutes)
Carotid and Vertebral Artery Ultrasound scan, combined with Ankle Brachial Pressure Indices (ABP’s).
Description: Carotid and Vertebral artery ultrasound scans assess the circulation of arterial blood to the head and neck. This scan can identify fatty plaques that build up over time within the arteries. This plaque build up can lead to significant narrowing/blockage of the arteries and this can be seen clearly on an ultrasound scan. Significant blockages within the neck arteries result in reduced blood supply to the brain, and this can potentially cause a stroke.
The circulation of arterial blood flow to the feet is measured using an indicative blood pressure test. The recordings are taken in both arms and legs and compared, the resulting Ankle Brachial Pressure Indice will indicate whether there are restrictions in the blood flow to the feet or not.
This is a painless test that gives an instant result. If the pressure measurements indicate a reduction in blood supply to the feet, a full leg ultrasound assessment can be carried out on the arteries in the leg to identify where the reduction in blood flow is coming from. there and then to identify the level and extent of the blockage in the leg arteries.
Cardiovascular Screening Package 2 (80 minutes)
Carotid and Vertebral Artery Ultrasound scan, combined with an arterial scan of both legs from Abdomen to ankle.
Description: This package gives a thorough assessment of the cerebral and peripheral circulation.
The cerebral (head and neck) circulation is assessed through scanning the carotid and vertebral arteries, located in the neck. The peripheral circulation of blood flow to the feet is assessed through ultrasound scanning of the main arteries in the abdomen and legs down to the feet.
This includes full assessment of the Abdominal Aorta and and Iliac arteries for detection of aneurysmal disease.
Location: London Bridge, Lyca Health, Chelsfield Park hospital.
Varicose Vein Leg Check (45-60minutes)
Assessment of the deep and superficial venous systems in the lower limb for venous incompetence/malfunction.
This assessment can uncover any hidden varicose veins that could lead to prominent varicose veins and skin staining. This thorough assessment takes approximately 45-60minutes.
