If you have been diagnosed with an aneurysm.

An aneurysm is an enlargement of an artery. It can occur in the chest, abdomen or extremities. An aneurysm can be diagnosed with an ultrasound, a CT scan, or an MRI. In some aneurysms, as they enlarge, the wall of the artery becomes progressively thin and can lead to life-threatening rupture.

If you have been diagnosed with atherosclerosis of the carotid artery.

Atherosclerosis is often called “ hardening of the arteries.” The carotid arteries are found in the neck, and are the main route of blood supply to the brain. Sometimes, small pieces of atherosclerotic plaque inside the artery can break o! and travel to the area of blood flow.

If you have been diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

In PAD, atherosclerotic plaques in the leg arteries cause restriction of blood flow. In mild and moderate cases, patients may su!er muscle pain with walking, called claudication. In severe cases, PAD can cause severe foot pain, or gangrene. Without prompt treatment, amputation can result.
