Atherosclerosis is a condition that affects the walls of arteries repeatedly; blood vessel blockage caused by atherosclerosis is a frequent cause of heart attack and stroke. The use of Doppler change, a recent advancement in ultrasound technology, would improve its function by improving accuracy. Blood flow measurement is crucial because it can aid in the early detection of many diseases. One of these diseases is atherosclerosis, which has been researched using the ultrasound Doppler scattering method to measure blood flow average velocity in the dorsal artery of the foot. The study’s findings revealed that age and diabetes had a greater impact than other factors such as medical history, high blood pressure, and triglycerides.
