Heart & Vascular Health Screenings
Vascular HealthScreen
Could your leg pain be a symptom of a serious disease?
Some 10 million Americans over the age of 50 have peripheral arterial disease or PAD - a serious disease that may unnecessarily lead to stroke, heart attack or loss of limbs. While one of the most common symptoms is leg pain or leg fatigue, the majority of people living with PAD will experience no symptoms at all. The good news is PAD is detectable and appropriate treatments will be provided. The medical experts at Mercy's Heart & Vascular Institute urge you to take advantage of noninvasive, painless and low-cost screenings that check for blockages in the arteries.
Vascular HealthScreen includes:
-
Stroke/Carotid Artery Ultrasound: to detect potential stroke causing plaque
-
Ankle-Brachial Index: to detect peripheral arterial disease
-
Abdominal Aortic Ultrasound: to detect an aneurysm
The cost is $95 for all three or $45 each.
Mercy offers two convenient screening locations at Mercy General Hospital and Mercy San Juan Medical Center.
