GTS Wellness Centre: The 5 Most Common Vascular Tests Explained – What to Expect at Your Appointment

 At GTS Wellness Centre, we focus on complete health and preventive care, especially when it comes to your heart and blood vessels. Vascular tests are a key part of understanding your cardiovascular health. If you’re scheduled for one of our specialized packages, here’s a simple guide to the five most common vascular tests we perform and what you can expect during your visit to GTS.

Vascular Test


1. Central Pressure Assessment

This test checks the pressure in your central arteries, giving deeper insight than a regular blood pressure check. At GTS, we use noninvasive methods to measure central systolic and diastolic pressure, central pulse pressure, augmentation pressure, and augmentation index. The test is quick, safe, and gives your doctor a clearer view of how your heart and arteries are functioning.


2. Arterial Stiffness Indices (ASI)

ASI evaluates how flexible your arteries are. At GTS, we test both the upper and lower limbs to identify early signs of arterial aging or stiffness. These results help our doctors assess your vascular age and guide you in making lifestyle changes if needed.


3. Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV)

This is a gold-standard test to measure how fast blood flows through your arteries. A faster pulse wave may indicate stiff arteries. GTS includes this test in its advanced vascular packages to detect early risk factors for heart disease, even before symptoms appear.


4. Carotid Intima-Medial Thickness (IMT)

Using a simple ultrasound, GTS checks the thickness of your carotid arteries to look for early plaque buildup. This test is painless and noninvasive. It's an important marker for your risk of stroke or heart attack.


5. Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)

This test compares the blood pressure in your arms and ankles. It helps detect peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition where blood flow to your limbs is reduced. At GTS, we perform ABI on both legs, which helps in early detection and management of PAD.


What to Expect at GTS

When you come to GTS Wellness Centre, our friendly team ensures a smooth, comfortable experience. Depending on your chosen package, your appointment may also include lab blood tests, ECG, ECHO, ultrasound, body composition analysis, and personalized diet advice. Each test is done with care and precision by our trained professionals.


We take the time to explain your results and support you with guidance tailored to your health goals. Whether you're visiting for a routine checkup or specific vascular concerns, GTS is committed to helping you understand your body better and take charge of your wellness journey.
