When it comes to heart health, early detection can be the difference between a manageable condition and a life-threatening emergency. The heart and blood vessels form a complex network—your vascular system—that supports every cell in your body. Unfortunately, cardiovascular diseases often develop silently, showing no symptoms until it’s too late. This is where vascular screening tests step in as your heart’s early warning system.
Vascular screening tests are designed to detect abnormalities in blood vessels that may signal the early stages of heart disease, stroke, or aneurysms. These non-invasive tests can uncover conditions long before symptoms arise, giving you a crucial head start in managing your cardiovascular health. In this guide, we’ll explore the various types of vascular screenings, what they detect, who should consider them, and how they fit into a proactive health strategy.
