- Arterial and venous echocolordoppler examination of the lower limbs
- Arterial and venous echocolordoppler examination of the upper limbs
- Echocolordoppler examination of abdominal vessels (aorta and iliac vessels, cava and iliac veins)
- Echocolordoppler examination of renal and visceral arteries
- Saliva (DNA) tests for cardiovascular risk assessment and thrombophilia
