Risk Assessments
-
Vascular health risk assessments include carotid, aorta, and ankle/brachial index (ABI)
-
Immediate access to health risk assessment report for same day awareness.
Expert interpretation of diagnostic results for Tier 2 assessments within a few days for timely decision-making.
Carotid Risk Assessment
-
Carotid duplex demonstrates the carotid arteries and how the blood is flowing through the vessels. Any obstruction in the vessels is identified.
Color Doppler produces a picture of blood flow within the vessels and represents information about the speed and direction of blood flow.
Using spectral Doppler analysis, stenosis or plaque in the arteries is demonstrated.
-
Each year about 700,000 people in the United States experience a new or recurrent stroke. About 500,000 of these are first attacks and 200,000 are recurrent attacks.
The term stroke refers to a group of cerebrovascular disorders in which part of the brain is affected by ischemia (decrease in blood supply) or hemorrhage (excessive bleeding), or in which one or more blood vessels of the brain are affected by a pathologic process (process occurring as consequence of disease), or both.
There are three main categories of strokes: cerebral infarction (greater than 80%), intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Of the cerebral infarctions, 20% to 30% are due to atherothrombosis or thromboembolism from the extracranial (carotid) or intracranial vessels.
-
Risk factors for stroke include advanced age, male gender, hypertension, history of stroke or TIA (transient ischemic attack), atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, diabetes mellitus, carotid artery stenosis, hypercoagulable conditions, and cigarette smoking. Hypertension is the single most important risk factor for both ischemic and hemorrhage stroke.
Awareness of stroke warning signs is important.
Stroke warning signs:
sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body;
sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech;
sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes;
sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination; and
sudden severe headache with no known cause. (www.cms.gov)

Abdominal Aorta Risk Assessment
-
The size of the abdominal aorta is measured to detect an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Abdominal aortic aneurysms often go undetected and are found incidentally on x-rays, CT scans, and MRIs ordered for other medical conditions.
An aortic aneurysm is an abnormal enlargement of the aorta which causes a weakening of the vessel walls. The aorta is the main artery that carries blood from the heart through the chest and torso.
Aortic aneurysms can dissect or rupture:
A dissection occurs when there is an injury to the inner most layer of the aorta allowing blood to leak in-between the layers.
A rupture occurs when the aneurysm bursts causing bleeding inside the body.
Dissections and ruptures are the cause of most deaths from aortic aneurysms.
-
3 out of 4 aneurysms are abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Aortic aneurysms account for about 15,000 deaths in the United States annually; of these 9,000 are AAA-related.
Men are 5 to 10 times more likely than women to have an AAA and the risk increases with age. Although AAAs may be asymptomatic for years, as many as 1 in 3 eventually rupture if left untreated.
Early diagnosis allows for more effective treatment and cure. Diagnosis of an AAA can be done painlessly with a simple ultrasound scan.
-
Those most at risk have a family history of AAA or is a man aged 65 to 75 who has smoked at least 100 cigarettes in his lifetime. A history of smoking accounts for about 75% of all abdominal aortic aneurysms. (www.cms.gov)

Ankle/Brachial Index (ABI) Risk Assessment
-
An ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a non-invasive test for peripheral artery disease (PAD). Diagnosing PAD early gives people a chance to make lifestyle changes and get treatment that may reduce their risk of cardiovascular issues.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is narrowing or blockage of the arteries (vessels that carry oxygenated blood). It is primarily caused by the buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries, which is known as atherosclerosis. PAD is more common in the legs than the arms but can affect any artery.
The ABI exam compares the blood pressure measured at the ankle with the blood pressure measured at the arm (brachial) using a Doppler and blood pressure cuff.
Doppler Ultrasound uses reflected sound waves called physiologic waveforms to evaluate the blood as it flows through an artery. The waveforms bounce off blood cells in a motion that causes a change in the pitch of the sound, called the Doppler effect. This is measured at a single level. (www.cms.gov)Claudication is a classic symptom of PAD. Claudication is pain, aching, or cramping of the legs with physical activity, such as walking, which subsides with rest. Claudication can occur in the buttock, hip, thigh, or calf regions.
“Physical signs in the leg that may indicate PAD include muscle atrophy (weakness); hair loss; smooth, shiny skin; skin that is cool to the touch, especially if accompanied by pain while walking (that is relieved by stopping walking); decreased or absent pulses in the feet; sores or ulcers in the legs or feet that don’t heal; and cold or numb toes. (Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) | cdc.gov)”
-
Both men and woman are affected by PAD. Approximately 6.5 million people aged 40 and older in the United States have PAD. Many other health conditions and disorders can mimic the symptoms of PAD.
If you have PAD, you are at risk for developing coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease, which could lead to a heart attack or stroke. Up to 4 in 10 people with PAD have no leg pain.

Diabetes

Risk Factors
Age 50+ or Family History – Higher risk due to aging or genetic predisposition.
Smokers, High Blood Pressure, or High Cholesterol – Major contributors to arterial disease and blockages.
Diabetes, Obesity, or Inactive Lifestyle – Increases risk of poor circulation and vascular complications.
History of Stroke, Heart Disease, Aneurysm, or Blood Clots – Indicates a need for regular vascular monitoring.
Leg Pain, Swelling, or Other Circulatory Symptoms – Possible signs of peripheral artery disease (PAD) or poor circulation.
