Cardiovascular and Stroke Screening / Health check package with Instant Results

Carotid Artery Ultrasound:

This test uses ultrasound technology to assess the main arteries which feed the brain (carotid arteries) in the neck for the presence of plaque buildup or blockages that could lead to a stroke.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening:

This screening involves an ultrasound of the abdomen to check for aneurysms (bulging) in the abdominal aorta, which is the main blood vessel supplying blood to the lower body. The primary concern with AAA is the risk of rupture, which can be life-threatening. When an AAA ruptures, it causes severe internal bleeding, leading to a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Screening:

This screening measures the blood flow in the lower extremities, typically using an ankle-brachial index (ABI) test. It helps to identify blockages or reduced blood flow in the arteries of the legs and feet, causing Pain, cramping, or aching in the calf, thigh, or buttock muscles during physical activity.

Blood Pressure Measurement:

High blood pressure is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Lipid Profile:

This involves a blood test to measure cholesterol levels, including LDL (bad) cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, and triglycerides. Elevated cholesterol levels can contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and stroke .
