Atherosclerosis is a build-up of fat, cholesterol, minerals, blood and muscle cells which cause narrowing within the arterial walls known as “plaque.” Atherosclerosis can occur in any artery within the body but is most commonly referred as PAD when it is in the legs or less commonly the arms. Doppler ultrasound is a test that uses sound waves to show whether a blood vessel is blocked and includes imaging of the arteries. Waveforms recoded with the Doppler ultrasound can help indicate the location and the severity of the disease.
