Vascular ultrasound examinations
(Color-coded duplex sonography)
Vascular ultrasound examination can help determine the risk of serious conditions. Damage to the cardiovascular organs be detected early.
Vascular ultrasound allows for monitoring the effectiveness of the treatment of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF), Arterial hypertension (high blood pressure), Lipid metabolism disorder with elevated cholesterol, especially LDL cholesterol (Hyperlipidemia), Diabetes mellitus (diabetes), obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, family history of cardiovascular disease and supports monitoring at Cardiovascular diseases during the course of events.
carotid arteries
(Carotid arteries, arteries supplying the brain):
To prevent strokes, screening for inflammatory diseases (Temporal arteritis) as well as for monitoring the progress after a stroke (Stroke) and after treatments on the carotid artery (operation (Thromboplastin endarterectomy (TEA))) or stent implantation).
Arm vessels
For the examination and assessment of arterial vascular constrictions (Subclavian stenosis), inflammatory vascular diseases (Giant cell arteritis) and Arm vein thrombosis.
Abdominal aorta (aorta abdominalis)
For the detection, monitoring of progress and timely treatment coordination of Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), pathological enlargement of the abdominal aorta), often resulting in a fatal outcome internal bleeding to avoid.
renal arteries
For the detection, monitoring, and timely treatment coordination of renal artery stenosis (Renal artery stenosis, NAST) as a rare cause of arterial hypertension (High blood pressure).
Pelvic and leg arteries
For the early detection of „Intermittent claudication“ peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) and to avoid Leg amputations. For monitoring progress after arterial vascular interventions ( Bypass surgery, stent implantation).
Pelvic and leg veins
To detect and treat tDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the pelvis and legs and thus to avoid life-threatening situations Pulmonary embolisms (LE). Also for the early detection and treatment of Varicose veins (varicosis, chronic venous insufficiency) (CVI), to avoid complications such as deep vein thrombosis (TVT), varicose vein inflammation (Varicophlebitis) and Venous leg ulcer (open leg) to avoid.
