A member asked:

Can there be a specific medical test to determine blockage in arteries?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Location?: The best test for detecting blockage in your arteries depends on the location of the blockage. Ultrasound can be used to detect blockage in the carotid (neck) and leg arteries, for example.
