How did they check the Artery? I have to be checked every few years for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, my father passed from this and it runs in the family. They do a fairly simple ultrasound to check it. I am overdue so next time I go in I can ask for the additional work while I�m there if that�s how they check.
I do my current checks to obtain a baseline diameter on the Aorta, so it might be a good thing to get on the Carotids.
