Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) are dilated (ballooning) regions of the aorta. Approximately 18,000 people die each year from an abdominal aneurysm rupture. Most people with AAAs do not have any symptoms and their AAA goes undetected until it becomes an emergency. In our testing, we look at the aorta and measure the diameter in various areas to make sure it is not enlarged.

IMT measures the thickness of your carotid artery walls. Arterial wall lining thickness indicates how your vascular system has responded to the risk factors to which it has been exposed. We calculate your "Vascular Age" to estimate the age of your blood vessels compared to your chronological age. If your final score indicates high risk for cardiovascular disease, you and your physician can proactively lower that risk.
