Take a Thorough Look At Your Body
Your veins function in a similar way to a highway. The veins are how oxygen and nutrient-rich blood find their way around your body. Vascular imaging helps you get a close look at how your veins function and if there are any problems that require attention.
Identify Blockages
Since vascular imaging allows health professionals to look inside your body, it can pinpoint blockages that may present themselves in your veins. Not only is finding blockages essential, but it can be life-saving. Blockages in your veins can lead to many significant health concerns, some of which can include
- High Blood Pressure
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Pulmonary embolismย
Identifying and addressing blockages can play a pivotal part in handling these conditions, and vascular imaging makes it possible to catch them and get them under control.
Identifying Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Veins that don’t provide adequate circulation can have far-reaching consequences. Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition where blood in your leg veins flows backward instead of back to your heart. This condition can be painful and impact your quality of life. Vascular imaging plays a critical role in determining if your veins aren’t functioning efficiently, allowing our healthcare professionals to create a plan to treat it.
