A member asked:

Doc heard a bruit in left caroited artery. ultrasound came back complete normal. what is causing the bruit?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tortuous arteries : The bruit could be caused by a transmitted heart murmur, or simply by tortuosity of the blood vessels without significant stenosis. If your doctor did not find a heart murmur, then there is probably no cause for alarm.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
