According to the Society for Vascular Surgery, millions of Americans are unaware that they have risk factors for stroke, or that may be at serious risk of death from vascular disorders. These diseases are generally symptomless until a catastrophic event occurs, such as a stroke or ruptured aneurysm. In fact, half of all stroke victims have no prior symptoms. We routinely identify individuals with moderate to severe risk factors for stroke who have no apparent symptoms and appear to be in good physical health.
Participating in a HealthYes! preventive screening provides you and your doctor valuable information about your cardiovascular health, such as:
- Whether or not you have a dangerous underlying asymptomatic condition that needs immediate treatment.
- Whether or not you show mild to moderate risk factors for stroke which can be proactively managed.
- A baseline or profile, of your personal health at a point in time, based on numeric measurements and ultrasound images taken.
