Every 30 seconds, cardiovascular disease claims another life. It is the #1 killer in America and is expected to continue to grow at epidemic proportions. Unlike most diseases, cardiovascular disease is controllable and preventable. The key is proper education and awareness of what to do to reduce your risks. You have taken the first step by completing the risk assessment.

Take the time to review these results with a physician. Discuss the many options available to you that can add years to your life. If you don’t have a physician, you can receive a free referral by clicking here, or call us at 913-373-7373 to talk to one of our referral specialists.

Based on your risk assessment, you may choose to schedule any of the three following offerings:

A heart scan for $50.
An ultrasound quick screen of your carotid arteries, abdominal aorta and an ABI to evaluate your risk for peripheral vascular disease for $79.
A comprehensive review of your individual risk factors, lab results and screening results with a clinical cardiovascular specialist for $35. This takes approximately 1 hour.
Or you may complete all three of the above services for just $99.

Heart Scan: This test uses a special X-ray called computed tomography (CT) to detect calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. It is a non-invasive test performed in the Radiology Department that takes approximately five to 10 minutes to complete. A score of zero means that no calcium has been detected and indicates a low-risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), while a higher score is associated with a greater risk for CAD. A copy of your results will be mailed to your home and sent to your primary care physician. *Please note that a calcium scoring test requires an order in the state of Kansas. Your primary care physician can either write an order for you, or you can receive an order from one of our cardiology nurse practitioners during the preventative cardiac screening.

Peripheral Vascular Screening & ABI: This is a limited screening ultrasound of the carotid arteries in your neck and the abdominal aorta using sound waves to look for blockages, narrowing, or bulging in your vessels. The ABI or Ankle-Brachial Index is an exam that compares blood pressures in your arms to your legs. An abnormal ratio indicates a restriction of blood flow.
