Every 40 seconds a person suffers a stroke and every 20 seconds a person suffers a heart attack in the US. On Saturday June 9 STROKE SCAN, INC. will be offering ultrasound scans in the St. Maria Center. The First scan will check the carotid arteries in the neck for “fatty Plaque Build-up”. Blockage in these arteries is the major cause of most strokes. 80% of strokes can be prevented! The Second scan is on the lower abdomen to check for an Aneurysm. This disease is called the “SILENT KILLER” because there are no recognizable symptoms! 95% fatal! The Third scan is on the lower part of the legs to look for “hardening of the arteries”. The Fourth scan is the Atrial Fibrillation (heart rhythm) which is a condition that causes the heart to pump blood inefficiently and increases the risk of stroke 5 times. Have 3 vascular screenings done for $125 (a fraction of the cost) and the heart test is FREE. We also check for stones, tumors and/or cysts in the liver, kidneys and gallbladder included in the price. Appointments are necessary. Early Registration is available by calling 1-866-935-7226
