What are clinical findings of vessel narrowing?

Clinical findings of vessel narrowing, or stenosis, can include symptoms such as chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or claudication (pain in the legs during activity). Patients may also experience dizziness or fainting due to reduced blood flow. Physical examination might reveal diminished pulses in the affected areas, and diagnostic imaging, such as Doppler ultrasound, angiography, or MRI, can confirm the narrowing and assess its severity. In severe cases, ischemia can lead to tissue damage or necrosis.
