Life Line Screening offers a 5-test package to thoroughly check you for risk of stroke, cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions. The combination of these tests helps detect problems – before you have symptoms and while you and your doctor can still take action. Here are some frequently asked questions:
Will it hurt? No. We use Doppler, color flow ultrasound, which is painless and considered the gold standard in uncovering early stroke and vascular disease. It is the same equipment commonly used on pregnant women.
How accurate are results? Very. We’ve been classified as hospital-grade and state of the art.
How old should someone be to get a baseline test? 40 with family history. All those over 50 should be screened so if there are findings, they can get under their doctor’s care and receive treatment as early as possible.
