Special to Independent Newsmedia
Abrazo Health will be offering its AngioScreen heart and stroke risk screenings in Surprise during Heart Month in February.
The screenings can identify potential artery blockages and other issues.
AngioScreen exams take 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 and includes:
Carotid ultrasound for artery blockage
Simple EKG exam for Atrial Fibrillation
Extremity circulation check for peripheral vascular disease
Blood pressure check for hypertension
Private consultation with clinician
Ultrasound and exam results to share with your physician
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, RN.
“Every 30 seconds an American has a heart attack. Isn’t 10 minutes worth your time to see if you are at risk?” Roberts shared in a press release.
The screenings will be available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 27 at Abrazo Surprise Hospital, 16815 W Bell Road, in Surprise.
AngioScreen information can be used by participants to share with their doctor and should not replace regular examinations and consultations with their personal physician, Roberts noted.
