AdventHealth Redmond is partnering with the AdventHealth AngioScreen bus to provide free vascular screenings throughout the month of August. The bus will be available at various locations, with the first screening taking place on Monday, August 4, from 8 AM to 3 PM at AdventHealth Medical Group Family Medicine at Trion.
The AngioScreen is a noninvasive, 10-minute vascular screening designed to assess an individual’s risk of heart disease and stroke. This painless assessment delivers immediate results at the time of screening, allowing participants to take immediate action if necessary. The AngioScreen includes a carotid artery screening ultrasound, looking for plaque (the leading cause of stroke), a 5-lead EKG of the heart rhythm, ankle brachial indices, and an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening.
Individuals with any of the following risk factors are encouraged to schedule their appointment:
- Age 55 or above
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- History of smoking
- Family history of stroke
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Family history of heart attack
Early detection is crucial in preventing heart disease and stroke. By offering these free screenings, AdventHealth Redmond hopes to help people identify potential risks and take steps to improve their health.
