- Venous duplex scans (to examine the veins that return blood to the heart; can show blood clots or reveal issues causing varicose veins)
- Arterial duplex scans (to examine blood flow in the arms and legs)
- Bypass graft duplex surveillance (to assess blood flow after a bypass graft is completed on a vein)
- Iliac artery duplex scan (to examine function of arteries in the lower abdomen)
- Aorta duplex scan (to examine the function of aorta, the main artery in the abdomen)
- Mesenteric duplex scan (to examine blood flow to the liver, spleen, stomach and intestine)
- Renal artery duplex scan (to examine blood flow to the kidneys)
- Echocardiograms (an ultrasound of the heart; can be done with or without physical activity)
- Vascular ultrasound (a test using sound waves to examine blood vessels)
- Treadmill testing (to assess heart function during activity)
