Peripheral Arterial Disease

An angiography (or cardiac catheterisation) is a test that can detect blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries.

A CT scan is used to produce internal cross-sectional images of the body. The images aid the detection of disease and injury, allowing effective treatment planning.

Cardiac (heart) MRI images allow physicians to better determine the presence of certain diseases that may not be as easily seen with other imaging methods such as x-ray or ultrasound.

An MRI is a type of scan that creates detailed images of the inside of your body.. Your doctor or healthcare professional has recommended an MRI scan because it is the best way to make an accurate diagnosis of your condition.

Ultrasound is a non-invasive scan that uses sound waves to create live images from the inside of the body.

An X-ray machine produces images of the inside of the body. It is effective in assessing bones and other dense structures within the body.

Angioplasty, also known as Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to open up narrowed or blocked arteries, most commonly to treat coronary artery disease and improve blood flow to the heart.

Arterial surgery is a field of medicine focused on repairing damaged arteries—the vital vessels that carry blood from the heart—to treat blockages, bulges (aneurysms), and other serious conditions.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery, commonly known as bypass surgery, is a procedure that relieves chest pain (angina) and improves heart function by using a healthy blood vessel from another part of your body to create a new route for blood to flow around a blocked artery.

Dieticians study and translate scientific information about food and nutrition and dietary advice into practical guidance.
