Diagnostic Vascular Testing
Early Detection For Better Outcomes
Advanced Testing For Circulation & Vascular Health
Understanding Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
Peripheral Artery Disease is a serious vascular condition that affects 8–12 million Americans. Without early identification and proper treatment, PAD can lead to dangerous complications — including a significantly increased risk of heart attack or stroke. Studies show that up to 30% of individuals with PAD may experience a PAD-related cardiovascular event within five years.
PAD becomes more common with age, affecting up to 20% of people over 70. The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association recommend Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) testing for patients:
- Age 65 or older
- Age 50 or older with a history of smoking or diabetes
Why Diagnostic Vascular Testing Matters
A complete evaluation of circulation is essential for patients at risk of vascular disease — especially individuals with diabetes or symptoms of poor blood flow. Proper testing helps:
- Detect PAD and circulation issues early
- Prevent complications such as ulcers, infections, or delayed healing
- Guide safe and effective treatment planning
- Reduce the risk of long-term limb or cardiovascular problems
Our vascular tests are non-invasive, require no dye injections, and are designed specifically to evaluate foot and ankle circulation.
Who Should Be Tested?
Diagnostic vascular testing is recommended for patients experiencing:
- Diabetes-related foot or leg changes
- Poor circulation, cold feet, or color changes
- Pain or cramping during walking (claudication)
- Non-healing wounds or slow healing
- Numbness or tingling
- Swelling or skin changes on the lower legs and feet
If you have diabetes, vascular disease, or symptoms of impaired circulation, early testing is essential for protecting your long-term health.
