Carotid arteries provide the blood supply to the brain. As a person gets older, plaque may build up in the carotid arteries limiting the blood supply to the brain causing a stroke.
Heart Scan service includes:
- A preliminary view of your carotid artery scan.
- A detailed report of your heart scan results from a Board-Certified Cardiologist.
- A copy of your heart scan report forwarded to your physician (if requested).
Who should have a carotid artery scan?
- Men or women over 60
- History of stroke or mini stroke.
