Venous Exam
Understanding Venous Diseases
Venous diseases, including Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), hinder blood return to the heart due to weakened leg vein valves. Our clinic utilizes cutting-edge systems for non-invasive venous testing, measuring refill and outflow, enabling early detection and tailored treatments.
Recognizing Risks and Symptoms
Recognize potential venous disease signs: varicose veins, leg heaviness, aching, cramping, and ankle swelling.
Risk Factors for Venous Diseases:
- Age
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Family history
Preparing for Testing
Preparation involves exposing your lower legs for testing. The procedure typically lasts 5 to 15 minutes, and results guide personalized care plans.

Understanding PAD
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) affects limb blood flow due to narrowed or clogged arteries.
Risk Factors for PAD:
- Age
- Tobacco use
- Diabetes
