First Responder Heart & Vascular Screening Program

First responders face significantly higher risk of cardiovascular events—the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths.

Our on-site screenings help detect silent risks early—so you can stay healthy, fit for duty, and ready when it matters most.

Protect Your Health. Stay Ready to Serve.

Leading Cause of Line-of-Duty Deaths

Cardiac events remain the leading cause of death among first responders. The physical and emotional demands of the job place ongoing strain on the cardiovascular system—often without warning signs.

Leading Cause of Line-of-Duty Deaths

Cardiac-related events remain the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths among first responders. The physical and emotional demands of these roles place significant strain on the cardiovascular system. Routine screenings can help identify risk factors early and support long-term health and readiness.

What We Screen

Carotid Artery Assessment

What it evaluates:
This ultrasound assesses blood flow in the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain.
Why it matters:
Plaque buildup in these arteries can develop silently and increase the risk of stroke. Early detection allows for intervention before symptoms occur.
What to expect:
A quick, non-invasive scan performed on the neck with no discomfort or downtime.

PVR/ABI (Circulation)

What it evaluates:
This test measures blood flow in the legs using blood pressure cuffs and waveforms to assess circulation. It also checks the circulation within the small vessels of the toes which is critical for those who are diabetic or high risk.
Why it matters:
Reduced circulation may indicate peripheral artery disease (PAD), which is linked to increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Reduced circulation can lead to non-healing wounds and can lead up to amputation.
What to expect:
Simple, painless testing using cuffs placed on the arms, ankles, feet and toes—completed in just a few minutes.

Aorta (AAA) Assessment

What it evaluates:
An ultrasound of the abdominal aorta to check for enlargement or aneurysm. We look for aneurysm, dissection, and blockage.
Why it matters:
Abdominal aortic aneurysms often have no symptoms but can become life-threatening if they rupture. Screening helps detect issues early.
What to expect:
A non-invasive abdominal scan performed while lying comfortably, with no recovery time needed. A 4-6 hour fast is recommended for optimal evaluation.

12-Lead EKG/ECG

What it evaluates:
This test records the electrical activity of the heart to assess rhythm and overall cardiac function.
Why it matters:
An EKG can help identify irregular heart rhythms or underlying cardiac concerns that may not present with symptoms.
What to expect:
Quick, painless test using small electrodes placed on the chest, arms, and legs—completed in minutes.
