What is PADnet testing?
A PADnet test measures the blood volume in the patient’s extremities by using a series of blood pressure readings. This non-invasive test can be completed in 15-20 minutes at CMMC.
What are peripheral vascular checks?
A peripheral vascular examination is a medical examination to discover signs of pathology in the peripheral vascular system. It is performed as part of a physical examination, or when a patient presents with leg pain suggestive of a cardiovascular pathology.
What blood tests are done for vascular disease?
Vascular Tests
- Angiogram. Also called: Angio.
- Ankle-Brachial Index or ABI Test. Also called: Segmental Pressure Test, Toe Pressure Test, Toe-Brachial Index (TBI)
- Carotid Duplex.
- Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) and Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) Tests.
- Duplex Ultrasound.
How do you perform a QuantaFlo test?
QuantaFlo™ testing involves the use of sensors to painlessly and non-invasively determine whether a patient has PAD within a matter of minutes. Sensors are placed on a patient’s fingers and toes to measure their blood circulation, thereby measuring and comparing the differences in blood flow.
Who can perform ABI test?
The ankle brachial index is a medical test used to help identify peripheral artery disease. PADnet® is a quick and easy way to perform an ABI test, and can typically be performed by a medical assistant, and be evaluated remotely by a vascular specialist.
What is a QuantaFlo test?

Can a blood test show vascular disease?
Blood and urine lab tests are used to find out your risk of heart and blood vessel disease. The results, along with your health history, help your health care team create the best plan of care for you.
How is a vascular test performed?
Vascular studies use high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to measure the amount of blood flow in your blood vessels. A small handheld probe (transducer) is pressed against your skin. The sound waves move through your skin and other body tissues to the blood vessels. The sound waves echo off of the blood cells.
What is the most common peripheral vascular disease?
The most common cause of PVD is atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque inside the artery wall. Plaque reduces the amount of blood flow to the limbs.
