Learn your risk for heart attack and stroke.
This comprehensive health screening helps you understand your risk for serious cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke. The screening package includes several key tests:

  • Carotid Artery Ultrasound: This painless ultrasound scan examines the main arteries in your neck that supply blood to your brain. It checks for any narrowing or blockages that could increase your risk of a stroke.
  • Heart Rhythm and Blood Pressure Screening: Your heart's rhythm will be checked for any irregularities, which can be a sign of underlying heart conditions. Your blood pressure will also be measured, as high blood pressure is a significant risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
  • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening: This is an ultrasound of your abdomen to check for a bulge or swelling in the aorta, the main blood vessel in your body. A ruptured AAA can be life-threatening, so early detection is crucial.
  • Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Screening: This test checks for narrowed arteries in your legs. PAD can cause leg pain and increases your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Following the screenings, you will receive a color-coded report of your results, along with educational materials to help you understand your cardiovascular health. A registered nurse will also be available for a consultation to discuss your results and answer any questions you may have.

Registration is required for this screening. Special rate: $49.95.
