Life Line Screening - Bridgeville, PA

September is PAD and Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month
 
Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of irregular heartbeat and is a leading risk factor for stroke. Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a vascular condition related to heart disease and stroke.
 
What do they both have in common? They are both detectable with simple painless screening.
 
The screenings provided focus on vascular disease including atrial fibrillation and peripheral arterial disease. 
 
Screenings are fast painless and affordable. Three key tests check for blocked carotid arteries atrial fibrillation and high blood pressure which are the three leading risk factors for stroke. Nearly 800000 strokes will occur this year.
 
Other tests check for abdominal aortic aneurysms and PAD also called “hardening of the arteries” in the legs. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women. Many events also offer blood tests including cholesterol glucose and c-reactive protein screenings as well as take-home colon cancer early detection tests.
