Vascular Disease Screening
About This Event
- Event Type:Health screenings
The Vascular Screening consists of:
Carotid/Abdominal Ultrasound: This low-cost screening can help detect a blockage, narrowing or weakness of arteries in your neck and abdomen, which could lead to problems such as stroke or abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The abdominal ultrasound is highly recommended for men who are current or former smokers.
Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI): These blood pressure measurements are taken at the ankles and arms and compared to determine whether there is decreased blood flow to the legs. It also can help detect peripheral artery disease, or PAD. PAD is a narrowing of the peripheral arteries, most commonly in the arteries of the pelvis and legs. One in five Americans over age 65 suffers from PAD, but only about 20 percent get the recommended treatment, according to the American Heart Association.
You will receive your results on the day of your screening to share with your primary care provider.
You may use your Health Savings Account to pay the cost of the screening. HSA Debit/Credit cards accepted or you may submit for reimbursement.
