A member asked:
What does it mean when you have elevated diastolic velocities in the right internal carotid artery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stenosis/Narrowing: Presuming you're discussing an ultrasound finding, an elevated velocity (systolic or diastolic) can suggest the presence of a stenosis ("narrowing") of the carotid artery. Whether or not this is significant depends on how elevated and whether or not there are symptoms your doctor is trying to attribute to such a finding. I would discuss with a board certified vascular surgeon.
