Lower Extremities Vascular Testing
Lower extremity vascular testing provides a comprehensive assessment of blood flow in the legs and feet. This suite of tests is essential for diagnosing peripheral artery disease (PAD), evaluating limb perfusion, and guiding treatment for vascular conditions affecting the lower limbs.
Lower extremity testing involves a series of non-invasive procedures designed to evaluate arterial and venous circulation in the legs and feet. These tests help identify blockages, assess the severity of disease, and monitor the effectiveness of interventions.
- Non-invasive and patient-friendly
- Includes segmental pressures, PVR, Doppler, and more
- Critical for early detection and management of PAD
A combination of blood pressure cuffs, Doppler probes, and PPG sensors are used to measure blood flow and pressure at various points along the lower limbs. The data collected provides a detailed map of vascular health and helps pinpoint areas of concern.
- Segmental pressure measurements at thigh, calf, ankle, and foot
- PVR and Doppler waveforms for flow analysis
- Automated data capture and reporting
Lower extremity vascular testing is invaluable for:
- Diagnosing and grading PAD
- Assessing limb perfusion in diabetic and high-risk patients
- Guiding revascularization and monitoring outcomes
- Supporting early intervention and limb preservation
These tests are recommended in clinical guidelines for comprehensive vascular assessment and are a mainstay in vascular labs.
