How is critical limb ischemia diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider may suspect critical limb ischemia based on your symptoms and other medical problems. They may use additional tests such as CT scans, MRIs, angiograms or ultrasounds. These tests evaluate:
- Blood flow in your hands, fingers, ankles, feet and toes.
- How quickly or thoroughly wounds heal.
- The extent of narrowed or blocked arteries.
