AdventHealth Medical Group Family Medicine at Adairsville Health Park is hosting the AngioScreen bus from 8 am to 3 pm, Wednesday, Nov. 20. The AngioScreen bus will be parked at the front entrance of the Health Park. An AngioScreen is a noninvasive, 10-minute vascular screening designed to assess your risk of heart disease and stroke.

This painless 10-minute assessment delivers immediate results at the time of screening. An AngioScreen includes a carotid artery screening ultrasound, which detects plaque (the leading cause of stroke), a five-lead ECG (electrocardiogram) to check heart rhythm, an ankle-brachial index test which looks for peripheral artery disease (PAD), and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening. If you have any of the following risk factors, schedule your screening today:

  • Age 55 or above
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • History of smoking
  • Family history of stroke
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity
  • Family history of heart attack
  • A personal medical history of other cardiovascular issues

The screening is $85 per person and HSA-eligible. To register for this screening, visit https://bit.ly/3vTFXsB.
