VASCULAR SURGERY CHECK-UP
The health of the circulatory system is essential for general wellbeing: veins and arteries carry oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Over time, or with risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and high cholesterol, vascular disease can develop, often without obvious symptoms until it causes serious complications.
The vascular check-up allows circulation problems to be diagnosed early and cardiovascular disease to be prevented.
Who is it recommended for?
The vascular surgery check-up is particularly recommended for:
-
People with a family history of cardiovascular disease.
-
People with high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol.
-
Smokers and people with a sedentary lifestyle.
-
Patients who have had thrombosis or embolism.
-
People with symptoms such as swollen legs, pain or heaviness in the legs, varicose veins, night cramps or poor circulation.
What does the check-up involve?
The pathway includes a vascular specialist visit, in which the doctor takes the medical history and assesses the circulation. This is combined with non-invasive diagnostic tests such as colour Doppler ultrasound of the arteries and veins, which shows the blood flow in real time and identifies any abnormality.
At the end the specialist provides a complete report with preventive, therapeutic or surgical recommendations as needed.
The advantages of the check-up
-
Active prevention of arterial and venous disease.
-
Early diagnosis of aneurysms, stenosis, varicose veins and thrombosis.
-
Better management of cardiovascular health when risk factors are present.
-
Personalised advice on lifestyle, diet and treatment.
When should you have the test?
-
We recommend the vascular check-up:
-
After the age of 40, as regular prevention.
-
If you have risk factors or suspicious symptoms.
-
On your doctor’s advice or after previous circulatory problems.
