Free Vein Screening/Vascular Exam Q&A

Why do I need vein screening and a vascular exam?

You need vein screening and a vascular exam because vascular problems affect overall health. Your vascular system circulates blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and removing waste.

Vascular problems affect blood movement and the health of organs, tissues, and cells.

Many people don’t think about vein and vascular health, so they don’t get the screenings. Signs and symptoms that indicate you need screening include:

Leg pain
Swollen legs
Restless legs
Varicose veins
Spider veins
Skin discoloration at the ankles
Poor healing leg wounds

If you have vascular symptoms or concerns about circulation, schedule a free vein screening and vascular exam at Northwest Houston Heart Center today.

What happens during a free vein screening and vascular exam?

The details of your free vein screening and vascular exam at Northwest Houston Heart Center depend on your symptoms, health history, and family health history.

Your specialist at Northwest Houston Heart Center performs a physical exam, looking for signs of vascular problems. Based on the information, your specialist may recommend additional tests such as:

Vascular ultrasound

A vascular ultrasound is an imaging test that evaluates blood movement through the peripheral arteries and veins. This test may find narrowing or blockages in the blood vessels.

Ankle-brachial index (ABI)

ABI compares blood pressure readings in the arms and legs. An abnormal reading may mean you have peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Angiography

An angiography is an X-ray that uses a special contrast dye to highlight blood vessels, allowing your doctor to see abnormalities.

Northwest Houston Heart Center is a state-of-the-art center that offers advanced testing so patients get the answers they seek.
