Calcium Scoring Screening

That’s why Bellin is offering Heart Calcium scoring, a powerful tool that can detect the presence of plaque before you have any symptoms of heart disease. Painless, safe, and noninvasive, it only takes minutes. If you’re man over 30 or a woman over 40, and consider yourself at risk, call to find out if this screening is right for you.

Comprehensive vascular assessments
Peripheral arterial disease, or PAD, affects between 8 to 12 million people in the United States. PAD increasingly affects people as they age. It hinders circulation to the legs and feet and cause leg cramping, fatigue, numbness or pain. It is commonly associated with high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, smoking and high cholesterol.
