Abrazo Health is announcing low-cost AngioScreen heart and stroke risk screenings to be held at multiple locations throughout the Valley during October and November.
The screenings can identify potential artery blockages and other heart health issues, Abrazo Health officials tell the Digital Free Press.
AngioScreen exams take only about 10 minutes and assess the circulatory system in neck and ankle arteries, heart rhythm, blood pressure and fitness.
Cost for the screening is $59 Includes:
- Quick Carotid Ultrasound to check pressure and look for blockage
- Simple EKG exam for Atrial Fibrillation
- Extremity circulation check for peripheral vascular disease
- Blood pressure check for hypertension
- Private consultation with clinician
“Potential artery blockages, atrial fibrillation and dangerously high blood pressure have been found in individuals during previous screening events,” said Abrazo Health Outreach Manager Cindy Roberts, a registered nurse. “Every 30 seconds an American has a heart attack. Isn’t 10-minutes worth your time to see if you are at risk?”
To register for one of Abrazo’s AngioScreen events call 844-721-4068.
