Screening for Vascular Disease
For more information, please call 304-526-2125
Screening for heart and vascular disease is painless. But knowing your risk for having an aneurism or serious heart conditions — such as carotid artery disease — is priceless. A vascular screening package that is now available at Cabell Huntington Hospital for $99 can provide you with that priceless information to maintain your health and identify problems with heart and blood vessels as early as possible. Individual screenings are also available for $45 per screening.
“Heart and vascular disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States and is prevalent in the Huntington/Tri-State region so these preventive screenings can be very valuable by finding vascular disease at an earlier stage when it can be treated effectively,” said Dr. Jonathan Kiev, a thoracic and vascular surgeon with the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine.
The vascular screening package includes:
- Carotid Artery Ultrasound Screening: checks for plaque build-up and narrowing of the arteries.
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening: checks for dilation of the main blood vessel in the abdomen.
- Peripheral Artery Screening: checks for plaque build-up in the arteries of the legs.
If a problem is discovered through vascular screenings, treatment options are available, including interventional radiology procedures that don’t require surgery, or minimally invasive surgical procedures provided by experienced surgeons with the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. Schedule your screening today by calling 304-526-2125.
