Life Line Screening for Stroke Prevention ~ Asbury Park VFW

Come in for the following potentially life-saving tests:

  1. Stroke/Carotid Artery Screening $60 - Ultrasound evaluation of the carotid arteries that screens for buildup of fatty plaque which is the leading cause of strokes.
  2. Heart Rhythm Screening (Atrial Fibrillation) $60-A quick and easy test using EKG electrodes placed on the arms and legs to identify the presence or absence of an irregular heartbeat at the time of the screening.
  3. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening $60 - Ultrasound is used to screen for the presence of an aneurysm in the abdominal aorta that could lead to a ruptured aortic artery.
  4. Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening $60 - Evaluates for peripheral arterial disease (plaque buildup) in the lower extremities.  It is 4 - 5 times more likely you will die from heart disease if you have peripheral arterial disease.
  5. Osteoporosis Risk Assessment $35 - An ultrasound measurement of the heel bone to determine abnormal bane mass density.  Osteoporosis is painless and silent in its early stages.
