Heart & Vascular Diagnostic Services

Non-invasive testing to evaluate heart and vascular conditions

You don’t need to know which test you need. We select the right testing based on your symptoms and history to help identify or rule out heart or vascular conditions. We offer tests for both initial evaluation and follow-up, with many performed in the office setting.

Testing typically begins with an evaluation of your symptoms or concerns. A provider may order diagnostic testing directly or refer you for further evaluation. Your results are reviewed by your care team to determine next steps, whether that’s additional testing, monitoring, or treatment.

Vascular Testing

We offer a full range of vascular ultrasound examinations to assess circulation in the arteries and veins and diagnose conditions such as peripheral arterial disease, carotid stenosis, aneurysms, and other vascular disorders.

Types of vascular exams include:

Carotid Ultrasound

Assesses blood flow through the carotid arteries in the neck to evaluate stroke symptoms or other cardiovascular disease.

Arterial & Venous Ultrasound

Evaluates blood flow in the veins and arteries of the arms, legs and abdomen to assess for deep vein thrombosis (DVT), venous insufficiency, peripheral arterial disease, aneurysms, or blockages.

Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)

Compares blood pressure in the arm and ankle to detect circulation problems
