Clogged Arteries

How can they check to see if you have clogged arteries?

In addition to the above response, you can have a CT scan that shows heart plaque and calcium deposits in coronary arteries. Above the scanner is that angiography is still the gold standard for detecting CAD.

If your arteries are clogging in a state, you notice chest pain or angina pectoris when you exert yourself, or brisk walking or climbing stairs award. This shows your heart muscle can not get the oxygen you need for the extra work you put into it. Usually, it will appear in your cholesterol test (blood test). Smoking, hypertension, genetics and high cholesterol are all factors that can lead to clogged arteries.

You mean that all the arteries? Well it is noninvasive and invasive methods to know which artery is blocked or clogged! In the non-invasive technique they use ultrasound and make 3 dimensional echo cardiography in color if color Doppler study of coronary and other vessels to show blood flow and the direction and speed and trajectory if anatomical it is so tortuous bend! Another way is the study of thallium in gamma camera where a radiopaque die is injected and the vessel is seen on the way monitor.Other is ultra sono graph is made to see the arteries and all the know-how! In invasive technique they enter a catheter into the vessel's side to see and that injecting radio opaque die for the view to better understand the course of the artery! This is called angiography! Now a day it is still a noninvasive manner, using color and dopllar macrosound that we use in submarines! This is called CAORTOGRAPHY.Always YouRsmE
