My carotid ultrasound showed high psv's bilaterally with the highest being 180. low edv's, high resistive index of .7-.9. ica/cca ratio less than 1. all vessels wnl, no stenosis per reading. is this worrisome? why high psv but no stenosis? thanks?

: Need to know what PSV and EDV stands for CERTAIN. PSV Usually means peak systolic velocity and is a measure of his fast blood is flowing thru the vessel. This is a function of how much pressure the heart is pumping and the radius of the vessel. If it is a screening ultrasound they should not be being done anymore as they lead to unneeded surgery &amp; stroke from the surgery. Discuss with Dr there
