WHY GET SCREENED BY BASELINE MEDICAL ?We cannot play games when it comes to heart disease and stroke. These two conditions fall under cardiovascular disease when statistics tell the real story of how they impact American society. Heart disease is the #1 Killer and Stroke is the # 3 Killer and # 1 Disabler. Examine the information below and you will understand why you need to have Baseline Medical screen you for heart disease and stroke today. Consider your chances:
Over 2.4 million deaths annually – and over 800,000 from CVD Consider recent data from the American Heart Association: 83 million adults have at least one form of cardiovascular disease – CVD 76 million have high blood pressure – many do not even know they have it 23 million harbor various forms of heart disease 7 million victims with cerebrovascular disease – or stroke. Most people with strokes do NOT die as you can see. That is the fearful aspect of stroke – living disabled. 2200 Americans die each day from CVD – or - 1 every 39 seconds In 10 minutes - 15 people die - from CVD WHY WON’T MY DOCTOR JUST ORDER A SCREENING ? Physicians need a reason of medical necessity to order any medical testing procedure for insurance to pay. Without a written order patients must pay. There are no reimbursement codes for screenings. People who want to know their risk with a screening do not currently find answers they need within the traditional medical approach and insurance company reimbursement model. Baseline Medical provides access to American adults who have a 1 in 3 reason to avoid being another Heart disease or Stroke statistic and learn their risk in a 10 minute screening of their carotid (kuh-RAH-tid) arteries. It is important to know the warning signs of Stroke – but it is much more important to know your risk for death and disability from an undiagnosed condition that may be easily identified with vascular ultrasound technology. STROKE ALERT – your weapon against fear of Stroke and Disability And remember – You may not find the phone to call for help if you wait to recognize a Stroke symptom when you are in life-altering crisis. Don’t even think about trying to find the Stroke Center either – during this time. While you still have time – get screened – before you and those you love are forever changed as well. Tell others to get screened it takes just 10 minutes. Call Baseline Medical Be Stroke Alert Stay Vertical |
