🔍 What is AAA Screening? 🏥 Julie from the AAA Screening Programme explains that an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a weakening in the aorta, the main artery from the heart to the legs, which can be deadly if it bursts. 🚑 👨⚕️ The NHS offers a FREE screening for men aged 65 with a quick, painless ultrasound. Results are immediate, and most men are fine, but those with an aneurysm are monitored closely. 📊 👉 Get screened! It’s simple and could save your life. 💪 https://lnkd.in/eXEr6359 #AAAScreening #MensHealth #NHS #GatesheadHealth #aneurysm #screening
