Carotid Artery Scans Assist Patients In Medical Decision Making

Baseline Medical's services help people avoid heart attacks and stroke. To put it another way - People want to learn about health care because they have grown weary with disease management.

Physicians require the patient to have a symptom or a reason of medical necessity to write the order for a diagnostic examination. This is how they get paid by insurance.

Baseline Medical offers access for the public to the same hospital technology without a prescription order from the doctor because people do not want to have a symptom first. Dying from stroke is bad, but having to live after one is what creates unimaginable fear.

Knowing about stroke symptoms is good.

Waiting to have a required symptom is bad.

Baseline Medical changes that.

Consider this - Millions of people have no symptoms and are unaware that they could have any serious medical issues. This is reason enough for Baseline Medical to offer screenings as a moral necessity. We screen people using technology not ambulances.

Here are some real facts:

• High Blood Pressure is the # 1 risk factor for all cardiovascular disease
• Heart Disease is the #1 killer
• Stroke is the #1 reason for disability

Baseline Medical features a 10 minute non-invasive vascular ultrasound exam of the carotid arteries in the neck to learn about individual's risk for heart disease and stroke. Serious disease can be diagnosed and treated before it is a life-changing health issue.
