A Stroke Occurs Every 40 Seconds in the US, Yet 80% Can Be Prevented

A Stroke Occurs Every 40 Seconds in the US, Yet 80% Can Be Prevented

Every 40 seconds, someone in the US experiences a stroke, according to the CDC. However, the good news is that about 80% of cardiovascular diseases and strokes can be prevented, as noted by the American Heart Association. For those over 40, it’s wise to consider screening for potential risks related to stroke and heart disease.

Lifeline Screening has assessed over 11 million individuals

Since 1993, Lifeline Screening has offered early detection and peace of mind regarding stroke and cardiovascular disease risks. Screening is accessible and affordable, available at more than 15,000 community sites across the US.

In just 2023, Lifeline Screening conducted screenings for over 630,000 clients across the country, discovering 10,000 significant results and around 46,000 unusual ones.

Lifeline Screening currently has a special offer: all four preventive screenings for just $159.

This package includes:

Carotid Artery Disease Screening: An ultrasound checks the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain, for fatty plaque buildup. This atherosclerosis is a major factor in strokes.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Screening: This involves using blood pressure cuffs on arms and legs to conduct an Ankle Humeral Index (ABI) test. Screening for PAD is crucial as it can heighten risks for coronary artery disease, heart attacks, or strokes.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening: An ultrasound examines the abdominal aorta for any enlargement or aneurysm, which can lead to a life-threatening rupture.

Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB) Screening: This involves a 6-lead electrocardiogram (EKG) to check for irregular heart rhythms that can lead to serious complications like strokes and heart failure.

All screenings are conducted by trained professionals using advanced ultrasound technology. The staff is rigorously educated to maintain high clinical standards, and the Lifeline Screening Laboratory is certified for Clinical Laboratory Improvement Modification (CLIA).

For a limited time, the four preventive screenings are available for $159.

Lifeline Screening places a strong emphasis on quality and accuracy. Qualified physicians review the results before they are shared with clients, ensuring thoroughness for findings related to carotid arteries, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and atrial fibrillation. You will receive your results within ten days through my Lifeline, a secure online portal, allowing you to share them with your doctor easily. If any critical issues are detected, you will be informed immediately, enabling timely medical action.

Clients are encouraged to discuss their results with their primary care providers, which can promote a proactive health approach. It’s worth noting that while doctors can order these screenings, most health insurance plans typically only cover them when symptoms are present.
