Special Life Line Screening Event in Pittsboro

May is National Stroke Awareness Month and Life Line Screening is holding a special event for Pittsboro residents. 

On May 13 Life Line will do 4 preventive health screenings at the American Legion Building for these conditions:

Carotid Artery Disease:
Occurs when plaque builds up in the carotid arteries and is a major risk factor for stroke.

Peripheral Arterial Disease:
Occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the legs and feet are narrowed by plaque. This can lead to pain and tissue death.  

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm:
When the aorta, located in the belly region, stretches or balloons, it can lead to a rupture or leak which requires emergency medical attention.

Atrial Fibrillation:
An irregular heartbeat, also known as arrhythmia. AFib sometimes leads to other complications like blood clots.

All four screenings will be done for the special pricing of $129.
