Guam Regional Medical City is now offering advanced testing to assess blood flow and detect Peripheral Vascular Disease, or PVD, an often-overlooked condition that can lead to serious complications like heart attacks, strokes, or amputations.  

The Ankle-Brachial Index and Pulse Volume Recording tests are non-invasive, quick, and painless procedures that evaluate circulation in the arms and legs. ABI compares blood pressure in the ankle and arm, while PVR measures blood volume changes as blood flows through your limbs.  

These tests provide a detailed look at your vascular health, offering early detection and personalized treatment plans. This may include lifestyle changes, medications, or even surgical options if needed.  

These tests are especially vital for anyone over 50 with a history of smoking, heart disease, diabetes, or leg pain during physical activity.  

If you're at risk, schedule your Cardiovascular ABI and PVR test today at Guam Regional Medical City to take the first step toward better vascular health.
