Life Line Screening conducts screenings in communities like ours every day, and they will be coming to our church on Tuesday, August 29th. Sign-up sheets will be provided three weeks prior.
Life Line Screening looks inside your arteries for dangerous plaque buildup that can increase your risk for stroke and cardiovascular disease. The best prevention is early detection of risk, enabling you and your doctor to take action to keep you healthy and independent for as long as possible. Life Line Screening has been in business for more than 20 years and has screened more than 10 million people.
In a little more than 90 minutes, you can receive painless, non-invasive screenings to look for:
- Carotid Artery Plaque, a major risk factor for stroke
- Atrial Fibrillation, which can increase the risk of stroke by 5-times
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm is a silent but dangerous enlargement of the largest blood vessel in the body
- Peripheral Arterial Disease (plaque buildup in the lower extremities), is also a risk factor for stroke and cardiovascular disease
- Simple finger-stick blood tests are also available
- The technology we utilize is the same as found in leading hospitals, and most results require review and are reviewed by a board-certified physician before they are sent to you, within three weeks of your screening.
