VASCULAR SCREENING
Vascular screening is a vital diagnostic process designed to detect blockages, aneurysms, and narrowing in the blood vessels. A vascular specialist is trained to identify and treat these conditions and can assess your risk of developing serious issues, such as stroke or peripheral artery disease. Dr. Manish Taneja, is dedicated to understanding your needs and delivering personalized solutions for your vascular health and screenings.
What is Vascular Screening and What Does a Vascular Specialist Do?
Are your blood vessels and arteries healthy? A vascular specialist is a doctor trained to diagnose and treat these vascular conditions to determine your risk.
The vascular system, also called the circulatory system, is made up of vessels that carry blood throughout the body. The system is responsible for transporting blood, oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body. It consists of a network of arteries, veins, and capillaries that work together to ensure that every part of the body receives the necessary substances to function properly. The vascular system is closely connected to other systems in the body:
- The respiratory system
- The digestive system
- The kidney and urinary system
Vascular screening is a process used to detect conditions related to blood vessels, such as blockages, aneurysms, or narrowing that could lead to serious health issues like strokes or peripheral artery disease.
Are You At Risk?
Certain health conditions and factors can increase your risk of developing vascular diseases.
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- High Stress
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Being overweight
If you have risk factors for vascular disorders, it’s important to consider getting a vascular screening. This is particularly crucial if you have a family history of conditions like aneurysms, PAD, or stroke. For those with a family history, especially when combined with other risk factors, it’s advisable to start screenings in your 30s.

The Types of Common Vascular Conditions
There are several common vascular conditions we treat, all centered around your vascular health. At Supreme Vascular and Interventional Clinic in Singapore, Dr. Manish Taneja, offers screenings related to a range of specific vascular conditions, including atherosclerosis, where plaque buildup narrows the arteries, potentially blocking blood flow to vital organs. The most common types of cerebrovascular diseases are caused by atherosclerosis. Carotid artery disease (CAD), another serious condition he addresses, involves the narrowing of the carotid arteries in the neck, which can increase the risk of stroke. Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, often presents without symptoms but can significantly increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Venous diseases such as varicose veins occur when weakened valves in the veins cause them to swell and enlarge, leading to discomfort and visible bulging. He also manages aortic aneurysms, where a bulge in the artery wall can lead to life-threatening internal bleeding if it ruptures. Additionally, he treats Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a form of Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) that typically affects the arteries in the legs, causing them to narrow due to plaque accumulation. His specialized care is designed to address these conditions effectively, helping you maintain optimal vascular health.
Using non-invasive and advanced imaging techniques like ultrasound and Doppler imaging, our vascular specialist can assess the health of your blood vessels, examine the blood flow, and see the structure of your veins or arteries. If any issues are detected, they can perform minimally invasive procedures, such as angioplasty or stenting, to repair or improve blood flow. These treatments are often less painful and require a shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgery, making vascular screening an important and effective way to maintain vascular health and prevent severe complications. No two vascular conditions are alike. At our specialized vascular clinic in Singapore, we provide a personalised approach ensures treatment is tailored to each patient’s condition, symptoms, and long-term health goals.
