Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke causing long-term disability or death. According to the CDC Centers for disease Control and prevention, up to 80 percent of strokes are preventable.
Understanding Stroke: A Medical Emergency with a narrow window. A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is suddenly interrupted, either by a blockage (ischemic stroke), accounting for about 87% of all
Strokes or by a ruptured blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Every minute without treatment can mean the loss of nearly 2 million neurons ( the fundamental working unit of the brain and nervous system).
This is where preventative screening becomes a powerful tool in the fight against stroke.
Early detection with Ultrasound Carotid screening, one of the most effective tools for stroke prevention.
Carotid Ultrasound is a quick, non-invasive test that checks the arteries in your neck for blockages or narrowing, which could increase your stroke risk. Early detection allows you to address potential issues before they become serious. Stay proactive about your health and reduce your risk of stroke. A Stroke does not discriminate by age, gender, or background, but knowledge and prevention can level the playing field. Scheduling a Carotid Artery Ultrasound Screening with RAVE Imaging could reveal hidden risks and, ultimately, save your life or the life of someone you love.
