LiveSmart™ Vascular Screening
When it comes to preventing heart attacks and strokes, knowledge is power. The Loyola LiveSmart™ Vascular Screening package puts the power of prevention into the hands of patients who want to live healthier, fuller lives. In an effort to provide early intervention for people who may have heart disease or stroke risk factors, our vascular screenings are affordable, convenient and most importantly, performed by a Loyola registered vascular technologist who truly knows about prevention. The LiveSmart™ Vascular Screening is offered exclusively at the Loyola Center for Heart & Vascular Medicine at Park Ridge and at the Loyola Center for Health at Homer Glen.
Loyola vascular screenings utilize state-of-the-art Doppler color flow ultrasound technology to deliver accurate results. All screenings are simple, painless and non-invasive. The Loyola LiveSmart™ Vascular Screening package costs only $130* and includes:
- Carotid artery disease screening
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm screening
- Ankle-brachial index screening (for peripheral arterial disease)
- EKG (for atrial fibrillation – irregular heartbeat)
A 2008 Thomson Reuters100 Top Hospitals®: Cardiovascular Benchmarks for Success award recipient, Loyola has achieved the highest national scores on a set of important measures of cardiovascular care. This means that our patients can feel comfortable that Loyola has adopted a team approach to heart care, working together to constantly measure, review and improve performance to make Loyola a better place to be treated for heart disease. We are committed to identifying and controlling cardiac risk factors in order to promote healthy arteries and protect patients from serious heart disease and stroke. We offer lifestyle and genetic counseling for those who are at risk for heart and vascular disease, as well screening for family members to provide advance risk-factor measures.

*Because many times elective screenings such as these are not covered by insurance, Loyola is committed to providing important, high quality vascular screenings at a rate affordable to our patients. The LiveSmart™ Vascular Screening is not covered or reimbursable by Medicare, nor will Loyola file insurance claims to any health-care provider.
