Patients with cardiovascular disease often do not have symptoms until the problem has reached an advanced stage. Screening exams help identify patients with early cardiovascular disease before this occurs. The next vascular screening will be held Friday, March 11 at the office of Lisa Larkin, MD, & Associates. 

Consult your physician to determine if you should be tested. He or she will then decide which test is right for you based on your age and other risk factors you may or may not have. Cost varies based on the type of screening you receive, and if you receive more than one type of screening. To learn more about the different tests that are available and which one may be right for you, please visit the Vascular Screening page on our website.

To schedule a test, call our office at 513.271.5111
