Ultrasound

Gill said:

I have to go for an Ultrasound Doppler Carotids on Monday. I know that one is blocked 90% and the
other at 60%. Could anyone tell me what the test involves.

Haven't you had it before?

If not, there is nothing to it compared to the arteriogram you had previously that detected the
occlusive carotid disease.

I am also booked to have a heart scan in February

Not surprising. Folks with atherosclerosis in their carotid arteries often (not always as some would
have you believe) have similar disease in the coronary arteries of the heart.

What is the inverse relationship? Cor to Car?

Similar (again not always).
