A Carotid ultrasound test uses high-pitched sound waves to evaluate carotid arteries (the arteries in your neck). The speed and direction of blood in your arteries can be seen on a video screen. Carotid ultrasound testing is done to look for blocked or narrowed carotid arteries as the cause of dizziness or stroke – or that indicate an increased risk of stroke.
No special preparation is needed for carotid ultrasound testing.
After much consideration, we have made the decision to close the Valley Cardiology practices in Fayetteville and Lumberton. Our last day will be Friday, December 19th.
We will be able to provide prescription refills, as appropriate, through that date. Patients should have received a notification letter, which included a request for transfer of your medical records to help ensure continuity of care at your provider(s) of choice. You also have the option to print your records from our patient portal. Rest assured that all records will be retained in accordance with HIPAA guidelines.
We are sincerely grateful to our patients for trusting us with your cardiac and vascular care. It has been our pleasure to serve the Fayetteville and Lumberton communities.
