Advanced Vascular Screening & ABPI ChecksOur advanced vascular screening service includes Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) checks to assess blood flow in the legs and feet. This quick, non-invasive test helps detect circulation problems early, including Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and other vascular concerns.
Early diagnosis can help prevent complications and support safer treatment planning. |
