Why AngioScreen®?
YOU COULD BE AT RISK FOR STROKE OR HEART ATTACK AND NOT REALIZE
IT
- Every 30 seconds an American has a heart attack
- Every 45 seconds an American has a stroke
- Every hour there are 100 deaths from vascular disease
Vascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Vascular
disease is the leading cause of stroke and heart attack. We believe
that our integrated vascular screening can help change your vascular
fate by providing information on which you can act. Such actions
can help lower your risk of heart attack or stroke. AngioScreen®
provides information about your heart rhythm, neck and leg arteries
and fitness. We hope that this data might inform you of your CHOICES
and encourage new directions for your vascular health.
An AngioScreen®uses non-invasive ultrasound technology to
scan the arteries in your neck to give you a clear picture of
your vascular health. In approximately 6 minutes the scan will
be complete, giving you actual pictures of your arteries that
you can share with your personal physician. See
a Sample Report
Your AngioScreen® will also include:
ABI (Ankle Brachial Index)
A screening test for blockages in the arteries that go to the
legs. Such blockage is called Peripheral Artery Disease, or PAD.
Ten million people have PAD, and 90% do not know they have it.
PAD carries a risk of a heart attack equal to a patient who has
had a heart attack even if PAD patient has never had a
cardiac symptom. These two tests are not routinely ordered by
physicians unless symptoms are present. Angioscreen® measurements
provide an assessment of risk that can be enhanced by consultation
with your personal physician, who may recommend other measures
of vascular risk and health. Remember that all screening measures
have a range of validity and none are completely accurate or 100%
predictive. However, our data, along with your personal colored
picture of your arteries, will provide you with important information
regarding your risk assessment. Carefully consider this information
in consultation with your physicianthis can make a difference
in your life.

given to you on a CD for you to share with your physician. Even
