Atherosclerosis diagnostics

A Cardiovascular risk factors as smoking, stress, obesity, hypertension, diabetes and cli­max can cause atherosclerosis. The first stage of atherosclerosis is functional dis­or­der of intima. Intima’s function can be diagnosed by ultrasound examination of the ar­tery of an upper arm.

Our clinic even in international terms was one of the first in using this method for early di­ag­nos­tics of atherosclerosis to provide to the patients an effective and purposeful pre­ven­tion. The method is painless, smoking, consumption of fatty food is not allowed be­fore the examination. In case of intima’s function disorder taking into account the root cause we recommend a proper treatment and after 2 months we repeat ult­ra­sound ex­am­i­na­tion.
