The vascular screenings are performed using Doppler color flow ultrasound systems and include the following: 1) A Carotid Artery Screening –visualizes the build up of plaque in the carotid arteries, which leads to stroke. (Most strokes are linked to carotid artery blockage) 2) An Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) test – looks for an enlargement in the abdominal aorta that could lead to a ruptured aortic artery. The vast majority of people who have an aneurysm have no symptoms. 3) An Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) – screens for peripheral arterial disease in the lower extremities, which is closely linked to coronary artery disease. 4) Bone density screening, which tests for the early signs of osteoporosis. 5) Atrial Fibrillation (Afib) – A test to measure irregular heart beat. Atrial Fibrillation increases the risk of stroke 5 times. 6) Complete Lipid panel, Glucose and C-Reactive Protein blood tests are also available for $99.00. ($70 when combined with tests 1-5 above) These blood tests require an eight hour fast. You must pre-register by calling 1-888-653-6441. These screenings are completely painless, non-invasive, and affordable. The cost for all four vascular screenings is $139.00.  10 minutes could save your life!
