  • test for blocked arteries

    Sorry I'm not able to copy and paste but here's the link. I was trying to find a company that uses ultrasound to check out various arteries for build up. It was affordable to under $400 for the most expensive screening.

    Don't they usually do an angiogram to test for blocked arteries?

      Yep, the angiogram is a "sure" test. Even while the angiogram is being completed and if need be, a stint can be done at same time.

        My father has had a few angiograms and stints. He actually had the done again last week.

          Some places were using ultrasound to detect build up in hopes of determining risks for strokes/heart attacks, but I can't recall who.
