Who Should Consider Screening
While everyone can benefit from understanding their vascular health, certain groups are at higher risk. Adults over 50, individuals with high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol, and those with a family history of stroke should particularly consider Carotid Artery Health Screening. Additionally, people who smoke or lead a sedentary lifestyle may face an increased risk, making early detection even more important.
It is important to note that screening is not only for those experiencing symptoms. In fact, most patients do not feel any discomfort until a serious problem develops. Therefore, regular check-ups and timely screening serve as a proactive approach to maintaining long-term health.
