A carotid artery ultrasound is a scan that uses ultrasound waves to examine the carotid arteries located in the neck. This test can show narrowing or possible blockages due to plaque build-up in the arteries due to coronary artery disease.
This is scan is recommended if you have any of the factors which increase your risk of stroke including:
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- High cholesterol
- Family history of stroke or heart disease
- Recent transient ischaemic attached (TIA) or stroke
- Coronary artery disease
