We can provide screenings for plaque, peripheral vascular disease (PVD), and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) at your facility.
-
Carotid Screenings for plaque in the carotid arteries. This exam screens for plaque buildup in the carotid arteries in the neck. The main cause of stroke is linked to carotid arteries blockage.
-
ABI Screenings for peripheral vascular disease. Ankle Brachial Index screens for peripheral arterial disease in the lower extremities which is linked to coronary artery disease.
-
AAA screenings for abdominal aortic aneurysms. This exam screens for the existence of an aneurysm in the abdominal aorta. The vast majority of the people who have an aneurysm have no symptoms.
