What test is required to check for any blocked artries if there is any ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doppler ultrasound: If question is about upper or lower extremities then Doppler ultrasound is quite accurate. Doppler can also be used for blood vessels in the neck. Blockages in the brain usually require magnetic resonance imaging or angiography.
