Peripheral Vascular Disease Screening
 

Peripheral Vascular Disease, or PVD, is a condition in which the arteries that carry blood to the arms or legs become narrowed or clogged, interfering with the normal flow of blood. We are offering the most common test called the ankle-brachial index (ABI), which is a painless non–invasive exam used to measure the ratio of blood pressure in the feet and arms.
