What Is Artery Screening?
Screening exams are tests that are carried out in order to locate a disease before symptoms begin. The aim of screening is so that a disease is detected at the earliest and most treatable stage. The device that we use for artery screening is the Pulsecor CardioScope. This is an automated sphygmomanometer device that is able to diagnose atrial fibrillation with high sensitivity.
What Are Arteries?
Arteries are blood vessels that are responsible for carrying blood that is rich in oxygen around the body. They go from the tips of your toes to your brains. Healthy arteries will have smooth inner walls, with blood flowing through them easily. Some individuals, however, develop issues with their arteries, for example, they can become clogged up. Artery screening is imperative to stay on top of any potential issues.
What Is Atrial Fibrillation?
The device that we use is able to detect atrial fibrillation. This is a heart condition that can result in a heart rate that is irregular and often abnormally fast. A normal heart rate is supposed to be regular, meaning it is between 60 and 100 beats per minute when you are resting.
