"Atherosclerosis is a silent process. It builds up over many years without being noticed, and the first sign is all too often a stroke, a heart attack or a leg that will not carry you. With ultrasound we can see the changes in the vessel wall long before that, and acting early has a lot to gain.
Your vessels reveal how your heart is doing
The carotid arteries, the abdominal aorta and the arteries of the legs belong to the same vascular system that supplies the heart. If we find plaque or narrowing there, we know the risk of cardiovascular disease is raised. That is why we always look at the vessels and the heart as a whole.
A clear answer, and a plan
The examinations are painless and often take less than half an hour. You get the results directly from the specialist along with a concrete plan, whether it is about lifestyle, blood pressure, cholesterol or further investigation.”
