Are you suffering from cold feet, changes in skin colour, slow-healing wounds, or cramping pain in your calves when walking? These symptoms can sometimes point to reduced blood supply to the lower limbs and should never be ignored. At The Foot Clinic, we offer comprehensive vascular assessments designed to identify circulatory issues early and guide appropriate treatment.
What Does the Assessment Include?
Our vascular assessment focuses on the health of the arteries supplying blood to your legs and feet. Using Doppler ultrasound and ABPI testing, we can identify reduced circulation and guide appropriate onward care.
Kardia Heart Rhythm Check
We are also excited to introduce the revolutionary Kardia device as part of our assessment process. This cutting-edge technology allows us to monitor heart rate and rhythm quickly and accurately during your consultation.
Heart rhythm irregularities can sometimes influence circulation and overall vascular health, so having this additional insight enables a more holistic evaluation. Detecting potential cardiac irregularities at an early stage can play an important role in protecting your long-term health and ensuring appropriate onward care when needed.
Who Should Consider a Vascular Assessment?
The consultation includes assessment for signs of reduced circulation such as skin temperature changes, colour changes, delayed capillary refill, hair loss, or brittle nails.
Research suggests that around 20% of people over the age of 60 have some degree of peripheral arterial disease, with higher risk in people who smoke, those with diabetes, and individuals with coronary artery disease.
