Preventing and managing cardiovascular disease includes the difficult challenge of identifying asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). In at-risk patients, identification of AAA is often a matter of chance, or the result of a life-threatening rupture. Early diagnosis of AAA is an important step in proactively managing the condition. To that end, the AortaScan® AMI 9700 portable ultrasound instrument accurately measures abdominal aortic diameter to help physicians identify the presence of an AAA.
