Heart and vascular disease is a leading cause of death and a major cause of disability for Americans – and is the single most expensive medical condition for businesses. It is projected to cost over $503 billion in direct medical expenses and lost productivity this year alone.

BarnesCare is now offering a new screening that uncovers potential problems before they become expensive conditions. Using the very latest ultrasound technology, BarnesCare can administer a comprehensive, pain-free, completely non-invasive procedure in about 20 minutes.

BarnesCare works with your human resource, safety and/or medical staff to sign up and schedule team members, requiring minimal space within your workplace for set-up and screening. You’ll receive a full executive summary report and your team members will receive a comprehensive, confidential report for their health care specialist.

This advanced screening includes:

CIMT Measurement - Measures the inner layers of the carotid artery to diagnose cardiovascular disease and vascular age.

Carotid Artery Screening - Tests for blockages and atherosclerosis in the arteries, which can cause a stroke.

Peripheral Vascular Screening - Checks for poor circulation and atherosclerosis in the arteries of the legs, which may also indicate an increased risk of heart attack or stroke.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening - Left undetected, aortic aneurysms can rupture, producing a less than 15% chance of survival.

Echocardiogram - Ultrasound of the heart can identify the function and structures of the heart. This test can pinpoint any previous damage to the heart muscle and can evaluate the current function of the heart.

The screening:

• Is completely pain-free.
• Requires no needles, no blood to draw.
• Requires no clothes to be removed.
• Takes as little as 20 minutes to administer.
• Provides completely confidential individual test results.
• Is performed right in your facility.
