What Is RCAA, RICA, RT VERT, And ICA/CCA Ratio?
I had a vascular screening done and the lab tech indicated results but I don t know what they mean or what is normal. It was indicated that my results are in the normal to mild range. For my carotid screen, what is RCAA, RICA, RT VERT, and ICA/CCA Ratio? For my Brachial screen, what does mmHg and mmHg / INDEX mean?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
RCAA is right common carotid artery
RICA is right internal carotid artery,
RT VERT is right vertebral artery
ICA/CCA Ratio is internal carotid to common carotid artery ratio
These are arteries supplying the brain and the flow of blood through them has been asessed.
mm Hg is the pressure of flow.
