What is a Coronary Heart Scan?
A coronary heart scan, also known as a coronary calcium scan, is a specialized X-ray test that provides pictures of your heart that can help your doctor detect and measure calcium-containing plaque in the arteries.
PLEASE BE AWARE that Life Line Screening does not perform a coronary calcium scan and you should speak to your doctor if this type of scan is of interest. Life Line Screening’s focus is on stroke and cardiovascular disease risk.

What's included?
Carotid Artery Screening (Plaque)
Ultrasound evaluation of the carotid arteries that screens for buildup of fatty plaque — one of the leading causes of strokes.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
Ultrasound is used to screen for the existence of an aneurysm (enlargement) in the abdominal aorta that could lead to a ruptured aortic artery.
Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening
Uses ultrasound and blood pressure measurements to check for peripheral arterial disease (plaque build-up) in the lower extremities.
Atrial Fibrillation
A quick and easy test using a 6-lead EKG designed to identify Atrial Fibrillation. Electrodes are placed on the arms and legs. Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke by 5 times.
Testimonials**
“If I hadn’t gone to Life Line Screening I never would have known that my arteries were blocked as much as they were. Doctors don’t check this unless something is wrong. By the time I got two more opinions and then had to wait six months to go back to the last doctor I was 95 % blocked. They brought me soon after that. I could have had a stroke. This was the best decision I have ever made.” –Noreen O.
“I had considerable blockage in my carotid arteries, and no symptoms. Thanks to Life Line Screening for sending me the postcard that probably saved my life.” –Sheri R.
