Simple, noninvasive tests can indicate vascular problems. Blood vessels in the neck supply blood to the brain, and a buildup of plaque in these vessels is the No. 1 cause of stroke.

A vascular screening at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospitals includes scanning the abdominal aorta for aneurysm, and scanning the carotid artery to look for stenosis that could lead to stroke.

Vascular screenings are recommended for persons over 55 with risk factors for vascular disease.

Results are provided to a patient's primary care physician for any indicated followup.
