Ecocolordoppler and Angiology
Diagnostic tests for arteries and veins in the heart of Cagliari
Caring for the heart means caring for its pathways. To protect the heart, we must also care for the blood vessels that carry life throughout the body. The health of your legs, your circulation, and even your mental clarity depend on a well-functioning vascular system. Symptoms such as heavy or swollen legs, sudden dizziness, differences in blood pressure between arms, calf pain while walking, or visible varicose veins should not be overlooked. They may be early signs of arterial or venous conditions that benefit from specialist evaluation.
At Il Cuore di San Benedetto in Cagliari, our approach to angiology and vascular surgery focuses on the person, not just the symptom. In a welcoming and private environment, you will find the expertise of an experienced vascular specialist dedicated to careful listening and precise diagnosis.
What is an Ecocolordoppler and why is it essential?
The Ecocolordoppler (commonly also known as vascular ultrasound) is the main examination for assessing the health of your veins and arteries. It is a non-invasive and completely painless diagnostic test that allows real-time visualization of blood flow and the early detection of narrowing, blockages, or abnormalities. It is an essential tool for early diagnosis, monitoring existing conditions, and preventing serious events such as stroke or thrombosis.
Dr Valentina Sanna – Vascular Surgeon
At our medical centre in central Cagliari, diagnostic vascular examinations are performed by Dr Valentina Sanna, a vascular surgeon with hospital experience.
She specialises in the diagnosis and management of arterial and venous diseases, with particular attention to prevention, personalised care, and ongoing clinical follow-up. Her clinical approach is based on three core principles: diagnostic precision, careful patient listening, and continuity of care.
Services
We perform color doppler ultrasound tests and angiologic consultation that allow real-time visualisation of blood flow in arteries and veins to assess blood circulation in different vascular districts: carotid and vertebral color doppler ultrasound, arterial and venous ecocolordoppler of upper and lower limbs, aorto-iliac ecocolordoppler, vascular specialist consultation (vascular, phlebological, and angiological).
Single arterial or venous district Ecocolordoppler

Specialist angiological or vascular surgery consultation with EcoColorDoppler
The specialist evaluation begins with a detailed clinical consultation, including a review of the patient’s medical history and symptoms, and continues with a physical examination followed by EcoColorDoppler. The purpose of this assessment is to diagnose or monitor vascular conditions such as atherosclerosis, venous insufficiency, thrombosis, and other vascular disorders, and, when necessary, to establish the most appropriate treatment plan. Report delivered at the end of the examination.

Early evaluation makes a difference.
A Color Doppler ultrasound (Ecocolordoppler or Vascular Ultrasound) is a valuable diagnostic tool that helps protect your health through early detection, often before clear symptoms appear. If you have doubts, a family history of vascular disease, or are already living with a circulatory condition, a vascular ultrasound examination can play a crucial role in your diagnostic and follow-up pathway. At our medical centre in Cagliari, we consider the Ecocolordoppler a fundamental examination for early diagnosis, targeted prevention, and careful post-operative monitoring of vascular conditions.
An Ecocolordoppler is essential for the early diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as: chronic venous insufficiency (varicose veins, venous reflux), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), superficial or deep venous thrombosis, phlebitis and post-thrombotic syndrome, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), carotid artery stenosis or occlusion, peripheral arterial disease (intermittent claudication) – leg or calf pain while walking, stroke and transient ischaemic attacks (TIA) risk assessment, differences in blood pressure between limbs, dizziness related to reduced cerebral blood flow. Through real-time evaluation of blood flow in arteries and veins, this non-invasive examination allows precise assessment of the vascular system, supporting timely medical decisions and personalised care pathways.
