Early detection and prevention of vascular disease saves lives and improves quality of life. Artery disease is often silent and, without symptoms, plaque can narrow or weaken arteries.
Screening can help you avoid:
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Pain in legs and loss of legs
- Ruptured aneurysm
Fairview offers vascular disease screening in a nationally accredited vascular lab. All tests are performed non-invasively (no needles), painlessly and quickly (less than an hour for the complete screening package). You’ll also receive artery disease education material.

- diabetes
- high cholesterol
- hyperlipidemia
- high blood pressure
- smoking
- sedentary lifestyle
- obesity

- stroke
