In this video, I’m going to show you the best at-home test to find clogged arteries before it's too late. Many people search for clogged arteries symptoms, but because heart disease often progresses silently, this simple, painless screening tool—called the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)—is a vital way to check your vascular health from the comfort of your own home.
As a board-certified cardiologist, my mission is to provide you with actionable strategies for heart attack prevention. While the ABI test is primarily used to detect Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) (blockages in the legs), it is a powerful indicator of your overall risk for heart disease and stroke. If blockages are present in your legs, the risk of them being in your heart or brain is significantly higher.
In this cardiologist-led guide, we cover:
Why the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is essential for early detection.
A step-by-step tutorial on how to check for clogged arteries at home using a standard blood pressure cuff.
How to interpret your ABI numbers: What is normal vs. a cause for concern.
The critical link between leg health, PAD, and heart attack risk.
What to do next if your results are borderline, including the Calcium Score Test.
Don't wait for symptoms to appear. Taking a proactive approach to your heart health today is the best way to ensure long-term wellness.
