How to check for arteriosclerosis

First: general examination: blood lipid determination, electrocardiogram, cardiac function and fundus examination.

Second: noninvasive vascular examination: ultrasonic Doppler blood flow examination and segmental arterial pressure measurement, electrical impedance plethysmography or photoplethysmography, etc. to understand the blood flow status of the affected limb. The shape of vascular cavity and blood flow can be displayed by Doppler ultrasound.

Third: Arteriography: it can accurately show the location, scope, degree, collateral and occlusion of the distal artery trunk, which is of great significance for the selection of surgical methods. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) can achieve the purpose of diagnosis and treatment.

matters needing attention

Pain: severe pain caused by tissue ischemia and hypoxia. Pale: with cold skin. Numbness: the distal end of the affected limb is stocky, and the sensory loss area is more serious. Dyskinesia: muscle weakness, even paralysis. The pulsation of artery was weakened or disappeared.
