✔ Carotid Artery Screening (Plaque)
- Ultrasound evaluation of the carotid arteries that screens for buildup of fatty plaque – one of the leading causes of strokes.
✔ Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening
- Uses ultrasound and blood pressure measurements to check for peripheral arterial disease (plaque build-up) in the lower extremities.
✔ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
- Ultrasound is used to screen for the existence of an aneurysm (enlargement) in the abdominal aorta that could lead to a ruptured aortic artery.
✔ Heart Rhythm (Atrial Fibrillation)
- A quick and easy test using EKG electrodes placed on the arms and legs to identify the presence of an irregular heartbeat at the time of screening. Atrial Fibrillation increases the risk of stroke by 5 times.
✔ Osteoporosis Risk Assessment
- An ultrasound measurement of the shin bone to determine abnormal bone mass density.
