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.

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 physician—this
can make a difference in your life.
- CD
containing your AngioScreen Results
- An
electronic version of your AngioScreen®
results will be given to you on a CD for you to
share with your physician. Even if you lose the
paper version of your AngioScreen®,
you can print another copy from this CD.
