Residence living in and around Pahrump can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke.

The complete screening package now includes a new heart rhythm screening, checking for irregular heartbeat, which is a major risk factor for stroke.

LifeLine Screening will be at the Pahrump Community Library April 24. The site is at 701 East Street. Appointments will begin at 9 a.m.

Screenings are fast, painless and affordable. They help identify potential health problems such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease.

A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 1-800-697-9721. Pre-registration is required.
