Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

A provider will perform a physical exam and review your medical history and risk factors. They may order noninvasive tests to help diagnose PAD and determine its severity. If you have a blockage in a blood vessel, these tests can help find it:

• Ankle-brachial index (ABI).
• Pulse volume recording (PVR).
• Vascular ultrasound.

You may also need an invasive test called an angiogram to find artery blockages.
