A technologist will place a transducer with gel on your abdomen and scan from the rib cage to the level of the umbilicus (belly button) to survey the abdominal aorta.
A technician will place blood pressure cuffs around your arm and ankles, listen with a Doppler for the sound of the artery, and take blood pressures, in order to determine the ankle to brachial index.
A technician will place 6 “stickers” (electrodes) under your collarbones and on your lower legs to obtain an EKG (heart rhythm and rate) tracing to identify Atrial Fibrillation.
