Carotid Doppler Ultrasound Baytown
Carotid Doppler Ultrasound in Baytown is a painless imaging test of the neck arteries that supply blood to the brain.
This exam will assess the movement of the blood through carotid arteries and detect plaque buildup in artery walls. The plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances that move through the bloodstream.
Is the Carotid Doppler Ultrasound For You?
If the buildup is severe and causes the narrowing of carotid arteries, it could increase the risk of a stroke. This test is recommended if you have medical conditions that can increase the risk of stroke, including:
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Coronary artery disease
- A recent case of transient ischemic attack
Test results help Dr. Sami plan treatment to prevent further build-up and whether any further intervention or procedure is needed to remove the plaque and help prevent a stroke.
Carotid ultrasound in Baytown has no risks because the test uses harmless sound waves.
