AngioScreen: Southwest Georgia’s First Step to Better Vascular Health
Phoebe Heart Center in Albany, Georgia offers a simple, inexpensive way to effectively provide heart disease screenings and stroke screenings to patients in Southwest Georgia.
The Simple Way to Determine Your Risk for Heart Disease and Stroke
An AngioScreen is a non-invasive vascular screening and takes less than 10 minutes to perform.
AngioScreen gives your physician information about your vascular health, such as signs and
up-to-date information about your:
-
EKG
-
Blood pressure
-
Body mass index
-
Blockages or plaque formation in your arteries
Since more than half of the individuals who have a stroke show no symptoms before the attack, it is important to have a screening to identify problems before symptoms arise and potentially avoid a serious problem.
Vascular Disease…the Silent Killer
Vascular disease is a "silent" disease that can be detected, prevented and treated.
Did you know?
-
Every hour, 100 people die from vascular disease
-
Every 53 seconds someone in the U.S. has a stroke
-
Every 30 seconds someone has a heart attack.
-
And every 3.1 minutes someone dies of a stroke
Stopping in for less than 10 minutes to get an AngioScreen could save your life!
Following the screening, you will receive a report that you can take to your primary care physician.
The screening is available at either our mobile unit, which travels to a variety of settings, including industrial, corporate and civic locations, and at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital.
