Ultrasound Screening by LifeLine Screening - Is It Worth It?
|
|
|
Hi, in the mail I received an offer for four ultrasound tests -
stroke/carotid screening, abdominal aortic aneurysm, peripheral arterial
disease screening and osteoporosis. I believe LifeLine Screening is some
sort of traveling road show.
What do you think?

It is a traveling road show. If you are concerned, you should talk to your
doctor about steps you can do to reduce the risk of these things.

Six years ago, I had a stent placed in my RCA. I'd like to know what shape
my heart and circulation are in right now.
Will the ultrasound roadshow show that?
