Ecografía Doppler de un brazo o de una pierna

Cuáles Son Los Riesgos:

No existe riesgo específico asociado con este procedimiento.

Consideraciones especiales:

El consumo de cigarrillo puede alterar los resultados de este examen, debido a que la nicotina puede hacer que se contraigan las arterias de las extremidades.

La suspensión del consumo de cigarrillo disminuye significativamente el riesgo de problemas con el sistema circulatorio y con el corazón. La mayoría de las muertes relacionadas con este hábito son causadas por problemas cardiovasculares y no por cáncer pulmonar.
