Life Line Screening
MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute
at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center
Life Line Screening was established in 1993, and has since become the nation's leading provider of preventive health screenings. Screening services are provided across the nation in the convenience of your local community and are conducted by highly qualified healthcare professionals. The non-invasive, inexpensive and painless tests help you identify your risk for stroke and vascular diseases early enough for your physician to
take action.
For many people, getting screened is the first step in early intervention to prevent potential health events later in their lives. It helps people understand their risks so that they can consult with their doctor and take the right steps towards a healthier future. Life Line Screening provides comprehensive, preventative screenings to help community members understand their risk for heart disease and stroke.
The conditions for which Life Line Screening tests are considered "silent killers" because they often strike without warning. Symptoms are rarely present and if they are, they are generally subtle, almost unnoticeable. In fact, four out of five people who have had a stroke showed no apparent warning signs prior to their attack. A simple screening could prevent death or disability.
Life Line screenings include:
- Carotid Artery Screening
- Atrial Fibrillation Screening (Afib)
- Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening (PAD)
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening
- Osteoporosis Screening
