- How We Diagnose Vascular Disease

Vascular diseases like carotid artery disease don’t always have obvious symptoms, and when you feel an unusual pain or cramp, you might be tempted to push through it. But an early diagnosis of vascular diseases like peripheral artery disease is the best step you can take toward a healthier future. Our vascular surgeons and specialists at UChicago Medicine AdventHealth are here to help you get started.
Your physician can answer your questions about your risk of developing a vascular disease and will advise you on how often you should visit for regular screenings.
Our facilities in the western suburbs are equipped with the latest diagnostic technology, so if you’re experiencing concerning symptoms or are looking for answers, we’ll help you find clarity through multiple tests, including:
- Ankle-brachial index (ABI)
- Blood tests (including cholesterol, triglycerides and diabetes)
- Computed tomography (CT) scan angiography
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) angiography
- Physical exam
- Ultrasound
