According to the CDC, every 40 seconds someone in the United States has a stroke. Fortunately, 80% of cardiovascular disease and stroke is preventable, according to the American Heart Association. If you are age 40 or older, you should consider getting screened for stroke and cardiovascular disease risks.
Life Line Screening Has Screened Over 11 Million People
Life Line Screening has been offering peace of mind or early detection for stroke and cardiovascular disease risk since 1993, with over 11 million people screened. Not only is it easy to get screened, but it’s also affordable, non-invasive, and convenient with over 15,000 community-based locations throughout the U.S.
In 2023 alone, Life Line Screening provided screenings to over 630,000 customers, held events at over 15,000 locations nationwide, identified 10,000 critical results, and discovered about 46,000 abnormal results.
Life Line Screening is offering a special discount for all 4 preventive stroke and cardiovascular disease risk screenings for only $159.
This special screening package includes:
– Carotid Artery Disease Screening: an ultrasound is performed to screen the carotid arteries (a pair of blood vessels in the neck that deliver blood to your brain) for buildup of fatty plaque. This buildup, called atherosclerosis, is one of the leading causes of stroke.
– Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Screening: an Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) test is performed using blood pressure cuffs on the arms and legs. It is important to screen for PAD because it increases the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack or stroke. 1
– Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening: an ultrasound is performed to screen the abdominal aorta for the presence of an enlargement or aneurysm. AAA can lead to a ruptured aortic artery, which is a life-threatening medical emergency.
– Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Screening: a 6-lead electrocardiogram (EKG) is performed by placing sensors on the arms and legs to screen for Atrial Fibrillation. AFib can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications. 2
All screenings use state-of-the-art ultrasound technology and are performed by highly trained staff. Vascular screening sonographers undergo rigorous education and training to ensure the highest clinical standards are met. Life Line Screening’s laboratories are Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) accredited.

Life Line Screening is committed to quality and accuracy. Board-certified physicians review results from these screenings before they are shared with you: Carotid Artery, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Atrial Fibrillation. Results are shared with you within 10 days after the screening via an online, secure portal, My Life Line. You will also be able to download test results to share with your physician. If a critical finding is identified, you’ll be notified on the day of the screening, so you can fast-track a treatment plan with your doctor.
Life Line Screening encourages their customers to bring their results to their primary care physician so they may take action or be proactive with their health. These are the same screenings your doctor could order for you, but generally, health insurance doesn’t cover them until symptoms are present.
Hear from some of Life Line Screening’s customers:3
“I went to Life Line Screening once and they found a clogged artery in my neck that even my doctor didn’t locate. Now we go back every year… They saved my life.”- Dennis, FL
“I’ve been screened twice and need to do it again. I had a client whose wife signed them both up, he was near a major stroke, and they caught it and probably saved his life.” -Judy, UT
“I am 60 yrs old and had a screening… and found my right carotid artery was 70% blocked. I had no symptoms. Took the results to my doctor then to a vascular surgeon… I had surgery 5 weeks ago and it was a success. You can’t put a price on health. Thank you, Life Line Screening.” – Kim, IL
