Heart Series: The Truck

The Bryan heart testing truck is coming to LPD on Tuesday July 16th and Tuesday July 23rd from 0730-1500 hours. To make an appointment call Bobbie at 402-481-8018. There are four tests being offered on the truck and you can pick and choose among the tests. Bobbie will be able to help you pick the right tests. The tests are:

Carotid Artery Ultrasound Screening:   This painless, non-invasive screening detects plaque deposits in the carotid arteries.  These plaque deposits are a leading risk factor for stroke. 

Cost: $40

Abdominal Aortic Ultrasound Screening:   This painless, non-invasive screening detects the presence of an aneurysm in the abdominal aorta.

Cost: $40

 

Peripheral Arterial Disease:  A painless, noninvasive test called the ankle-brachial index (ABI) compares the blood pressure in the ankles to the blood pressure in the arms to determine how well blood is flowing.

Cost:  $20

 

Atrial Fibrillation:  Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart arrhythmia, affecting 2.2 million Americans.  

Cost:  $10

 

There is also a calcium test that will likely be available at a later date/time. Bryan did this for LFR in the past and there were some employees, who with the help of this testing, were able to get some medical treatment that ended up saving their lives.
