How High Cholesterol Affects the Carotid Arteries

High cholesterol can cause plaque buildup in the carotid arteries, the main arteries located on each side of your neck that supply blood to your brain. When blood flow through the carotid artery becomes narrowed, it increases the risk of stroke.

Some patients may experience symptoms such as:

• Headache

• Dizziness or lightheadedness

• Balance problems

• Fatigue

Many people, however, have no symptoms at all until a serious medical event occurs. That is why preventive screening is so important.

Carotid Doppler Ultrasound: A Simple Preventive Test

A Carotid Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive test that evaluates blood flow through the carotid arteries and helps detect plaque buildup early.

This test is:

• Painless and non-invasive

• Radiation-free

• Performed quickly in the office

• Helpful for stroke prevention and early treatment planning

Patients with high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of heart disease may benefit from this screening.
