What is a stroke, abdominal aortic aneursym (AAA) & PAD Screening?
The stroke, AAA and PAD screening is a quick and painless way to give you information about your vascular health. A physician with expertise in vascular disease will provide you and your primary care physician with the results of your screening within one week. If further follow-up is recommended, this information will be provided to both you and your primary care physician.
- Stroke remains the 3rd leading cause of death in the U.S, and 4 out of 5 people have no apparent symptoms or warning prior to a stroke. *
- Thousands die each year from rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. At least 95% of these can be successfully treated if detected prior to rupture. *
- Estimates are as high as 1/3 of older Americans have some form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Difficulty walking and/or pain in the calf area of your legs could mean the onset of serious issues in the arteries of your legs. *

Why participate in a screening?
The good news is 80% of strokes can be prevented and other peripheral vascular problems can often be easily managed if diagnosed early. Early detection is the key to a course of action that could be lifesaving.
