Are you at risk for stroke, heart disease or aneurysm? Cathedral Health Services provides affordable cardiovascular health screenings!
1. HeartSound™ (Heart Screening): As many as 50 percent of all heart attacks occur before any symptoms are apparent. This ultrasound of the heart detects any enlargement or abnormalities that may be indicators of serious disease. Please wear a top with button or zipper front closure.
2. Atrial Fibrillation Screening: Atrial fibrillation is a common heart rhythm problem found in approximately one in every 150 people. It can cause palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue and risk of stroke. Leads are attached to the skin to measure and record the electrical impulses given off by the heart. Please wear a short sleeved top and no pantyhose.
3. Stroke Screening: Stroke is the most common cause of long term care admissions in the United States. It is also the third most common cause of death. This ultrasound of the carotid artery shows the level of plaque build up that puts one at risk of stroke.
4. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Aneurysms form as a result of weakening in the arterial walls. When an aneurysm ruptures, over 80% of the time it is fatal. This screening is an ultrasound of the aorta detecting aneurysms and other abnormalities. A minimum 3 hour fast is required.
5. Peripheral Arterial Disease: Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a condition where blood circulation is restricted. It affects over 8 million Americans. This ultrasound detects signs of circulatory problems in the lower extremities. Please wear a short sleeved top and no pantyhose.
6. Thyroid Screening: It has long been recognized that excess, deficiency and variations in thyroid hormone levels are related to depression, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disorders, especially in the elderly. This ultrasound screening of the thyroid detects cysts, nodules and other abnormalities that may indicate signs of thyroid disease.
Blood pressure and pulse are included with all screenings. We also provide immediate consultation and written test results to all participants in the screening.

Host a Screening
Our community health screening events are provided through the support of communities who host these important screening events. Our host sites provide the space for the clinic and help with the communication of information about the event.
Space Requirements: We need room space (approximately 800 square feet or larger) for one day and a few tables and chairs to accomodate our team and clients. We setup our equipment on-site before the event and return the room to its original configuration at the end of the day.
Communication: In order to host a successful event, we provide flyers for distribution in newsletters or bulletins. We also make our team available for group meetings or events to speak about the benefits of preventive health care screenings and to answer any questions about our services.
