A vascular screening is a three part non-invasive diagnostic screening used in the detection of stroke risk, abdominal aortic aneurysm and peripheral artery disease. Over 700,000 Americans suffer a stroke each year. A large number of strokes can be prevented with proper diagnosis and treatment. An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening detects if the wall of the artery has become weakened and distended. A ruptured aneurysm is lifet hreatening. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) occurs in the arteries of the circulatory system in the vessels that carry blood to the arms and legs.
The Vascular Lab provides non-invasive diagnostic ultrasound tests on arteries and veins, which our doctors use to confirm a diagnosis and determine a course of treatment. These tests may also be used to track disease progression over time. There are generally two kinds of arterial vascular disease: occlusive and aneurysmal.
