St. Elizabeth Healthcare will be hosting a stroke and cardiovascular screening. You can receive a complete cardiovascular screening package for $100 (four-hour fast required) or receive a screening of your choice for $25:
- Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening – Designed to look for abnormalities in blood flow in the lower extremities
- Carotid Artery Screening – Checks the arteries in the neck where plaque buildup can lead to blockages which are the #1 cause of stroke
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening – Searches for an enlargement or aneurysm in the abdominal aorta that could lead to a ruptured aortic artery
- Cardiac Age Health Risk Assessment – Based on the Framingham Heart Study, it will calculate a 10-year heart risk percentage based on biological age, body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and smoking. It requires a 4-hour fast and involves a finger stick glucose and lipid panel.
Registration is required for St. Elizabeth’s cardiovascular screening, but the fair is free. Please contact (859) 301-WELL (9355) to set up your appointment.
