Preventative Vascular Screening & Long-Term Surveillance
Overview:
Vascular diseases frequently develop without noticeable symptoms until significant damage has already occurred. Structured preventive screening identifies asymptomatic plaque formation, arterial stiffening, and occult aneurysms before they escalate into medical emergencies. Dr. Mohammad Edeis Clinic offers comprehensive vascular health screening programs tailored for individuals at increased circulatory risk.
Who Needs Screening:
- Adults aged 50+ with risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, or elevated cholesterol.
- Individuals diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.
- Patients with a family history of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), stroke, or severe peripheral vascular conditions.
- Anyone experiencing unexplained leg weakness, coldness, or persistent swelling.
Screening Tests Included:
- Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI): Fast, non-invasive comparative blood pressure measurement to identify early arterial blockages.
- Duplex Carotid & Aortic Ultrasound: Evaluates stroke risk via carotid plaque imaging and screens for abdominal aortic enlargement.
- Venous Reflux Doppler: Assesses valve competence to identify early-stage venous disease before major varicosities appear.
- Personalized Risk Mitigation: Clear lifestyle, medication, and surveillance plans to safeguard cardiovascular health.
