Diagnosis

To diagnose a blocked artery in your leg, your doctor will ask about your medical history, perform a physical examination and order a number of safe and painless non-invasive tests. These tests will check your circulation and may include measurement of blood pressure in the legs and ultrasound imaging of the arteries.
