Ten minutes is all the time it takes for our vascular screening designed to provide you with information about your circulation and risk of heart disease and stroke. Our noninvasive screening includes: Stroke Screening: Ultrasound of carotid arteries for blockage leading to stroke. The Peak Systolic Velocity (PSV) can determine the percentage of a carotid artery blockage. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Ultrasound of the abdomen since most aortic aneurysms have no symptoms until it is too late. Peripheral Arterial Disease: Ankle Brachial Index study to detect blockage in the legs.
Atrial Fibrillation: A 5‐lead EKG will be performed.
Both AFib and carotid artery blockage are significant risk factors for stroke. And, Blood Pressure, Pulse, BMI
