Subclavian Steal Syndrome
Subclavian steal syndrome occurs when an artery that carries blood to the arm narrows and, to compensate, diverts flow that would normally supply part of the brain. It is a circulation disorder of the large vessels.
Common symptoms: dizziness, visual or balance disturbances that can appear when using the affected arm, along with a sensation of fatigue or coldness in that limb.
Common causes: narrowing of the subclavian artery, frequently due to hardening of the arteries.
Which specialist treats it? It is evaluated by an angiologist or vascular surgeon and, when there is cardiac or cerebral involvement, also the cardiologist. If you notice dizziness related to movement of the arm, it is worth discussing it with a specialist for an appropriate evaluation.
