The comprehensiveness of a Body Scan can be different depending on the scope of the procedure. Life Line Screening does not do body scans, but screens parts of your body to identify the risk of Stroke and Cardiovascular Disease with a goal of generating peace of mind or early detection.
80% of stroke and heart disease can be preventable –American Heart Association*
See below for the components of our screening package.
Ultrasound evaluation of the carotid arteries that screens for buildup of fatty plaque — one of the leading causes of strokes.
Ultrasound is used to screen for the existence of an aneurysm (enlargement) in the abdominal aorta that could lead to a ruptured aortic artery.
Uses ultrasound and blood pressure measurements to check for peripheral arterial disease (plaque build-up) in the lower extremities.
A quick and easy test using a 6-lead EKG designed to identify Atrial Fibrillation. Electrodes are placed on the arms and legs. Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke by 5 times.
“If I hadn’t gone to Life Line Screening I never would have known that my arteries were blocked as much as they were. Doctors don’t check this unless something is wrong. By the time I got two more opinions and then had to wait six months to go back to the last doctor I was 95 % blocked. They brought me soon after that. I could have had a stroke. This was the best decision I have ever made.” –Noreen O.
“I had considerable blockage in my carotid arteries, and no symptoms. Thanks to Life Line Screening for sending me the postcard that probably saved my life.” –Sheri R.
