Program Description
Event Details
Vascular disease can strike anyone, at any age, at any time. It often strikes without warning...symptoms may not appear until it is life threatening. Improved health outcomes are possible through non-invasive screening. George J. Koullias, MD, PhD, of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and Stony Brook Medicine, will speak about peripheral artery disease (PAD), a circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to limbs causing pain and discomfort upon walking. Additionally, Dr. Koullias will talk about Aortic Aneurysm which is an abnormal bulge that can occur in the wall of a major blood vessel carrying blood from your heart to your body. State-of-the-art advances in minimally invasive endovascular technology are performed by Dr. Koullias at the Audrey and Martin Gruss Heart & Stroke Center at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. Non-invasive screening is quick and easy and can save your life!
