Carotid Artery Disease
Understanding Carotid Artery Disease
The carotid arteries carry blood to the brain. When these arteries become narrowed, blood flow may be reduced and the risk of certain cerebrovascular events may increase.
Carotid artery disease may not always cause symptoms, which is why appropriate evaluation can be important for patients with certain risk factors or medical histories.
Carotid and Neurovascular Evaluation
At Neuro Heart and Vascular Clinic, FL, evaluation may include:
- Carotid Ultrasound
- Review of cardiovascular and vascular risk factors
- Assessment of previous stroke or TIA history
- Cardiovascular and vascular evaluation
- Ongoing monitoring and care planning
Carotid Ultrasound provides a noninvasive way to evaluate blood flow through the carotid arteries.
