✔ Carotid Artery Disease:
an ultrasound is performed to screen the carotid arteries (a pair of blood vessels in the neck that deliver blood to your brain) for buildup of fatty plaque. This buildup, called atherosclerosis, is one of the leading causes of stroke.
✔ Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD):
an Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) test is performed using blood pressure cuffs on the arms and legs. It is important to screen for PAD because it increases the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack, or stroke.2
✔ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA):
an ultrasound is performed to screen the abdominal aorta for the presence of an enlargement or aneurysm. AAA can lead to a ruptured aortic artery, which is a life-threatening medical emergency.
✔ Atrial Fibrillation (AFib):
a 6-lead electrocardiogram (EKG) is performed by placing sensors on the arms and legs to screen for Atrial Fibrillation. AFib can lead to blood clots, stroke, and heart failure, and other heart-related complications.3
✔ A1c Screening (FREE For a Limited Time):
a quick and easy blood test that measures the average blood glucose level over the previous 2-3 months.The American Diabetes Association recommends that the A1c test be the primary screening tool used to diagnose prediabetes, type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is serious and not managed properly can cause damage to kidneys, poor circulation in the legs and feet and can also cause vision loss. |
