Why is prevention key?
A stroke can have serious consequences, but early detection of problems and proper treatment can significantly reduce the risk of one. Regular ultrasound examination of the arteries helps to detect the impending danger before the first symptoms appear.
What are the benefits of neurosonological examination?
This modern method allows for non-invasive and painless imaging of the blood vessels supplying the brain. Thanks to it, it is possible to:
Identify narrowing of the arteries , atherosclerotic plaques and other abnormalities. Assess the overall condition of the vascular system and recommend appropriate preventive measures. Regularly monitor patients with already identified risk factors , thereby reducing the likelihood of stroke.
Similar laboratories operate in other regions and contribute to reducing the incidence of stroke through early diagnosis and initiation of treatment.
Who should consider this examination?
The examination is especially recommended for those who:
Are over 50 years of age and have risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking or obesity. Have previously had a stroke (stroke) or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Have known vascular disease in the brain or neck, such as stenosis or aneurysm. Are taking blood-thinning medications, such as direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).
Insurance coverage still uncertain
Although this is a recognized diagnostic method, health insurance companies in the Karlovy Vary Region do not yet cover it. However, the laboratory operator is striving to change this situation and is discussing the possibility of including the examination in covered healthcare.
The laboratory will open in April 2025. Orders are now possible, do not hesitate to secure your appointment as soon as possible.
