<<The only way an accurate diagnosis of Buerger's Disease can be made
is by a test called an arteriogram or angiogram (same test, different
names). It is important that this be performed and read by
experienced technicians and doctors because it can be done wrong. My
husband's first one was! Try to have it done at the best, largest,
teaching hospital you can.>>
An arteriogram show that the arteries are clogged, but how can they tell
with this particular disease that it is caused exclusively from smoking,
versus, high cholesterol, diabetes, etc.?
