Professor Sherif Sultan, Professor of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery. THIS 5 MINUTE SCREENING CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE Each year in Ireland more people die from cardiovascular disease including heart disease and stroke than all cancers combined. Over 30% of overall deaths. In many cases, this is a silent killer causing heart attack, stroke, lack of blood flow to your legs or aneurysm. Now a simple ultrasound screening can save your life. Professor Sherif Sultan provides an expert screening service at The Galway Clinic. The screening is a simple test performed by a world-renowned expert. If any further treatment is required, you are in the hands of the top vascular and Endovascular surgeon, in one the most technologically-advanced medical suites in Europe. One of only two of its kind in the country. Professor Sultan recommends this vital screening test and as it can be done within minutes if someone is in need of life-saving treatment. “Screening involves a simple non-invasive ultrasound exam. By placing some jelly and a painless probe on the surface of your skin we can tell within 5 minutes whether you have a life-threatening condition. If we identify that you are a risk of stroke, amputation or aortic rupture, we can schedule you for a minimally invasive life-saving treatment straight away. “ People most affected are those with the following risk factors: Smokers, high blood pressure, history of heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease. Each year we screen on average 1000 patients and successfully carry out 350 procedures, 90 of which are to prevent stroke, 120 for aneurysm repair and 140 to prevent amputation. Those over the age of 55 years of age are at highest risk but all ages and lifestyles can be affected by cardiovascular disease.
