Life Line Screening’s tests provide an easy, comfortable way to be proactive about your health.  Life Line Screening’s tests are designed to screen for silent diseases in a manner that is not traditionally included in a physical. If the results from your test are abnormal, you can then go to your doctor and have more testing and treatment performed. By taking a Life Line Screening test, you could identify the early stages of disease before it has progressed to something serious. 

Life Line Screening tests for hidden symptoms of diseases including:

• Stroke
  Three hidden conditions that can cause a stroke are atrial fibrillation, systolic hypertension (high blood pressure) and carotid artery disease, and Life Line Screening looks for all of them. Life Line Screening tests for atrial fibrillation by using EKG electrodes to determine whether or not a person has an abnormal heart beat that can cause a blood clot to travel to the brain. Life Line Screening tests for carotid artery disease by using ultrasound technology to measure the amount of plaque built up in the carotid artery and uses a cuff to test for high blood pressure.
• Heart Disease
  Life Line Screening tests for many of the factors that can lead to heart disease including high cholesterol, elevated C-reactive protein, peripheral arterial disease and high glucose.
• Type 2 Diabetes
  Life Line Screening tests for type 2 diabetes through a simple, painless finger prick. The test is designed to measure blood sugar levels and determine if a person already has or is at risk for type 2 diabetes.
• Osteoporosis
  By using an ultrasound bone density scanner, Life Line Screening can test a person’s risk for osteoporosis. A patient using the scanner simply places his or her foot into the machine, and the scanner measures the bone mineral density of the heel and compares it to the density of a healthy young adult.
