What does ULTRASOUND COLOUR DOPPLER BILATERAL LOWER LIMB measure?
Ultrasound Colour Doppler Bilateral Lower Limb is an imaging scan that shows blood flow in the arteries and veins of both legs. It measures speed and direction of blood, and displays this with color maps. The test is important because good blood flow keeps tissues healthy and prevents clots. The test quantifies one or more cardiac markers. Lipid values reflect artery blockage risk over time. Cardiac enzyme levels spike when heart muscle cells are injured, making them critical in both emergency diagnosis and recovery monitoring.
What do the results of ULTRASOUND COLOUR DOPPLER BILATERAL LOWER LIMB mean?
Abnormal lipid results lead to dietary advice, statin medication, or both. Elevated cardiac enzymes require urgent further investigation with ECG, echocardiogram, and possible hospital admission. Borderline lipid values are rechecked after 3 to 6 months of lifestyle modification.
