You don’t even have to go to your doctor to get preventive health screenings these days, thanks to Life Line Screening’s in-person screening locations. Each year they host more than 14,000 events across the U.S. Through those clinics, the company has provided preventive screenings to more than 10 million people since 1993 and is a leader in the industry.

Life Line Screening offers a stroke and cardiovascular disease risk package of 5 preventive health screenings in 1 appointment for $149. The screening package includes: 

Carotid Artery Disease Screening

An ultrasound is performed to screen the carotid arteries for buildup of fatty plaque.  This buildup, called atherosclerosis, is one of the leading causes of stroke. 

Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening

An Ankle-Brachial Index test is performed using blood pressure cuffs on the arms and legs.   It is important to screen for PAD because it increases the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack or stroke.2 

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

An ultrasound is performed to screen the abdominal aorta for the presence of an enlargement or aneurysm.   AAA can lead to a ruptured aortic artery, which is a life-threating medical emergency. 

Atrial Fibrillation

A 6-lead electrocardiogram is performed by placing sensors on the arms and legs to screen for Atrial Fibrillation.  AFib can lead to blood clots, stroke and heart failure and other heart-related complications.3 

Osteoporosis Screening

An ultrasound is performed to measure the shin bone for abnormal bone mass density.   This can help assess the risk of osteoporosis, a disease where bones become weak and brittle.
