Heart Attack & Stroke Prevention
Please join Village Builders in Heritage at Towne Lake on Tuesday, October 13 for affordable, painless ultrasound tests of your arteries and bones. Unfortunately, insurance companies typically won’t pay for ultrasound testing unless you have symptoms. But, 50% of sudden cardiac death victims and 80% of stroke victims have no symptoms. That’s why a preventive screening is so important to keep you and your loved ones healthy and independent.
Three Tests for $130.95
These painless tests often cost more than $1,000 in hospitals.
Stroke / Carotid Artery Disease Test
80-85% of strokes result from clots that break off, traveling to smaller arteries in the brain. Carotid Artery Disease is a leading cause of these clots. We use ultrasound to identify dangerous plaque build-up.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Test
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm rarely pose symptoms and are fatal in 80-90% of cases if they rupture. An ultrasound of your stomach allows us to visualize any abdominal ballooning of your aortic wall.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Test
It is estimated that over 10 million Americans have PAD—only 25% are being treated. PAD is a strong predictor of heart disease, can cause leg pain, and in some cases loss of limb. We use Computer Oscillometry and the Ankle-Brachial index to detect plaque build-up in the legs.
Total Health Screening Package - $169.95
All three tests above, plus the two tests below. Circulatory Health + Heart Health + Bone Health
Arterial Stiffness Index Test (Risk of Heart Disease)
Heart Disease is the #1 cause of death and long-term disability in the U.S. Computer Oscillometry is used to identify hardening of the arteries, missed heartbeats and arrhythmias. Hardened arteries cause the heart to work much harder when pushing blood through partially blocked arteries. These blockages and the resulting strain on the heart ore a root cause of cardiovascular disease.
Osteoporosis Test
Osteoporosis affects 44 million Americans, including 2-4 million men over the age of 50. Quantitative ultrasound of the heel is used to determine your bone mineral density and fracture risk.
