Anderson Stroke Prevention Screening
1. Stroke/Carotid Artery Screening - Ultrasound evaluation of the carotid arteries that screens for buildup of fatty plaque - the leading cause of strokes.
2. Heart Rhythm Screening (Atrial Fibrillation) - Painless 6 lead EKG that can detect an irregular heart rhythm. Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke 5 times.
3. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening - Ultrasound is used to screen for the presence of an aneurysm in the abdominal aorta that could lead to a ruptured aortic artery.
4. Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening - Evaluates for peripheral arterial disease (plaque buildup) in the lower extremities. It is 4-5 times more likely that you will die of heart disease if you have peripheral arterial disease.
5. Osteoporosis Screening - An ultrasound measurement of the heel bone to determine abnormal bone mass density. Osteoporosis is painless and silent in its early stages.
Stroke, Vascular Disease & Heart Rhythm Package (4 tests) for only $139.
Add an osteoporosis screening for $10 more; all 5 tests for $149 ($66 savings!)
