Atrial fibrillation, carotid artery disease, peripheral arterial disease and aortic aneurysms are probably the four most common vascular diseases that afflict Americans and are certainly the ones that produce the most potential for death and disability.
Early Detection is Vital
In most cases, with early detection, vascular disease can be treated effectively. There are several simple screening tests that detect these problems, all of which are non-invasive and painless.
The tests include:
Atrial Fibrillation – Checks for cardiac arrhythmias (Test available in Hays only)
Peripheral Arterial Disease – checks for your risk of having blockages in the leg arteries
Stroke Scan – uses the carotid ultrasound with doppler to look inside the carotid arteries to detect early signs of plaque build-up.
Aortic Aneurysm Scan – looks for abdominal aortic aneurysm. Aneurysm or ballooning of the artery wall may cause the artery to burst.
