| Peripheral Arterial Disease Screenings |
| Description | People who have vascular disease often show no symptoms, or don’t recognize symptoms when they do occur. That’s why vascular disease is often called “the silent killer.” The challenge is in discovering the disease early. In most cases, vascular disease can be treated successfully.
Our peripheral arterial disease (PAD) screening is designed to help with early detection and treatment.
The screening process includes three simple tests:
- Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
- Stroke/Carotid Artery
This screening can help with the early detection of the most common forms of vascular disease. Catching and treating the disease early can help prevent:
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Pain in the legs and/or loss of legs
- Ruptured aneurysm
Read the Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening Brochure for more information: PAD Screening Brochure
