Check-Up & Screening
Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital, 133 Sukhumvit 49, Klongtan Nua, Vadhana, Bangkok, BangkokStroke Risk Screening Programs at Samitivej Hospital are designed to identify early warning signs and risk factors associated with stroke. Around 80% of strokes are caused by narrowed or blocked blood vessels, which can reduce blood flow to the brain and lead to paralysis or severe complications. These programs utilize advanced diagnostic technologies such as MRI, MRA, Carotid Doppler Ultrasound, Transcranial Doppler (TCD), and Carotid Duplex Ultrasound (CDUS) to assess brain and carotid artery conditions. Screening is especially recommended for individuals with risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, or symptoms like dizziness, blurred vision, or headaches. Early detection enables preventive treatment and significantly reduces the likelihood of severe stroke outcomes.
