About the HeartScan
The best way to get ahead of heart disease is to have the possible presence of calcium in your arteries carefully scanned and evaluated. In Oklahoma, this clear picture is available at INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center.
The INTEGRIS HeartScan creates 3-D images of your heart and coronary arteries, providing a precise measure of calcium deposits. The key is to assess your risk of developing coronary artery disease – while there is still time to help prevent it.
The HeartScan is a simple, non-surgical outpatient procedure that takes mere minutes to complete. Injections, dyes, fasting or other preparations are not necessary, nor do you need a physician referral. Best of all, results are immediate.
Following the scan, you will receive preliminary results, learning your calcium score. It is a quick and affordable way to enjoy peace of mind. And, to give that peace to those you love, HeartScan gift certificates are available.
About Peripheral Artery Disease Screening
Being screened for peripheral artery disease is another way to stay ahead of heart disease. When leg arteries are hardened or clogged, blood flow to the legs and feet is reduced, resulting in poor circulation. PAD usually occurs in the legs and can affect other arteries that carry blood away from the heart including those that connect to the aorta, brain, arms, kidneys and stomach. Having PAD increases chances of dying from a heart attack or stroke by 33 percent.
PAD risk factors include:
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Smoke or have smoked
- Family history of heart disease
- Diabetes
- Over age 50
Symptoms can include (although PAD is often silent):
- Claudication (fatigue, tiredness, or pain in your legs, thighs or buttocks that occurs with walking and goes away with rest)
- Foot or toe pain that often disturbs your sleep
- Slow-to-heal wounds on feet
- Changes in color or temperature of lower extremities.
The PADnet screening test is performed by taking a series of blood pressures and takes 15-20 minutes to complete. No injections, dyes, fasting or other preparations are necessary. Nor do you need a physician referral.
Following the screening, each patient will receive preliminary results. It is a quick and affordable way to enjoy peace of mind. For only $80 you will receive a HeartScan and Peripheral Artery Disease screening. And, to give that peace to those you love, Peripheral Artery Disease screening gift certificates are available.
