Peripheral Diagnostic Procedures

Peripheral Diagnostic Procedures

Peripheral Diagnostic Procedures are specialized tests used to evaluate the blood vessels outside the heart, particularly in the arms, legs, and kidneys. These tests help detect narrowing, blockages, or other vascular issues that can reduce blood flow and cause pain, fatigue, or swelling. Dr. Vaibhav Shukla provides accurate and comprehensive peripheral diagnostics, ensuring early detection and effective treatment planning.

Symptoms That May Require Peripheral Diagnostics

Patients may be advised for these procedures if they experience:

• Pain, cramping, or heaviness in the legs during activity (claudication)

• Numbness or weakness in limbs

• Cold or discolored hands or feet

• Non-healing ulcers or wounds on extremities

• Swelling or edema due to poor circulation
  Identifying vascular issues early can prevent serious complications and improve overall quality of life.

How Peripheral Diagnostic Procedures Work

These tests use non-invasive or minimally invasive methods such as Doppler ultrasound, ankle-brachial index measurement, or angiography to assess blood flow in peripheral arteries and veins. The procedure is painless, quick, and provides accurate data on blood circulation, blockage locations, and severity. Dr. Vaibhav Shukla carefully analyzes the results to guide timely and effective treatment.
