Health Screening | Life Line Screening


Anyone every do this? For $139 you can get all this checked:

Stroke/Carotid Artery disease
Ultrasound evaluation of the carotid arteries that screens for buildup of fatty plaque - the leading cause of strokes

Peripheral Arterial Disease
Uses ultrasound and blood pressure measurements to check for peripheral arterial disease (plaque build-up) in the lower extremities.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Ultrasound is used to screen for the existence of an aneurysm (enlargement) in the abdominal aorta that could lead to a ruptured aortic artery.

Atrial Fibrillation
A quick and easy test using EKG electrodes placed on the arms and legs to identify the presence or absence of an irregular heartbeat at the time of the screening. Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke 5-fold.

I've done it 2 years ago. Plus other tests, where they run you to total exhaustion on the treadmill while you are all wired up to all the machines, etc.
I was told that only two kinds of humans have the cv system as healthy as mine - "new born babies or outstanding physical specimens". I guess I'm the latter :yeahthat::star-:ars

That test must have been flawed! I mean, how could these "good hearted" politicians and the like be wrong about juice?

Shelby:

I have anecdotal stories of friends of friends discovering major problems during these screenings. I cannot see the downside. I am shocked at how inexpensive some testing is becoming. A business partner just had the heart CT scan for about $139 as well.
