the legs are only one problem when there are suspected peripheral artery disease. a more critical artery would be the carotids. the two main blood supplies to the brain. the neck doppler is to make sure the carotids are patent.
why would a dr do a doppler on the neck for poor leg circulation? . my wife went to the dr for sore legs and they determined she had some type of blockage and sent her to north central heart institute to a heart specialist and he had a doppler ultrasound done on her neck. why would he do that for poor leg circulation?
