Available Screenings

  • ABI Screening—A quick, painless and accurate test that will provide early detection of symptoms of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). It compares the blood pressure in your ankle with the blood pressure in your arm, which produces an ankle brachial index (ABI).
  • Carotid Screening—Provides ultrasound images of the carotid arteries on both sides of the neck. Checks for plaque build-up (narrowing) in the arteries which could eventually lead to a stroke.
  • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening—Provides ultrasound images of the aorta in the abdomen. Checks for weakened and bulging areas in the lower part of the aorta, the major blood vessel that supplies blood to the body.
    • It is recommended that nothing be eaten for at least 10 hours before the exam.

Cost

Choose any combination of ABI, Carotid and AAA screenings for only $33 each.
