Description:

The carotid arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the head and brain.  Carotid artery disease is defined as the narrowing or blockage of this artery due to plaque build-up.  Over time, this narrowing may eventually cause a stroke. Risk factors for carotid artery disease include:  family history of atherosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries"), age, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. 

This painless, noninvasive screening detects plaque deposits and narrowing of the carotid arteries. Registered Vascular Technologists perform the study, which is then read by a vascular surgeon.

To register for this screening event, please call (402) 481-5121 or register online (see links for specific dates above).

Cost is $40, payable at the time of screening.

Mobile Services

BryanLGH has vans on the road five days a week, working with local doctors and their staff to bring a mobile echocardiography lab to communities throughout the region. Our mobile teams perform hundreds of these studies each month. The echocardiography lab is fully accredited by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories.

Computerized ECG service and cardiac Holter monitoring serve hospitals and clinics across Nebraska. A BryanLGH cardiologist reads all ECGs.

Nuclear stress testing also is available via mobile nuclear imaging vans. Staff members perform general and cardiac nuclear medicine studies at hospitals throughout Nebraska and Kansas.

To maintain the highest level of all test results, all mobile studies are done using the same high-quality equipment we use at the medical center.

For information on services available in your community, call your local doctor or hospital.
