Are vascular screening tests truly life-saving—or do some of them cause more harm than good?

From abdominal aortic aneurysms to carotid artery stenosis, vascular diseases are some of the deadliest conditions in medicine. Yet the screening recommendations for these conditions are among the most confusing, contradictory, and misunderstood in all of healthcare.

In Vascular Screening Dilemmas, Dr. ID OKPOMBOR breaks down the science with clarity and precision, giving you an accessible guide to the real evidence behind the most debated vascular screening tests.

With balanced insight and real-world clinical perspective, this book explains:

• Why AAA screening saves lives—and why only a specific group of older men truly benefit
• How a simple ultrasound can prevent a catastrophic rupture—but also lead to unnecessary interventions if misused
• Why carotid artery screening is widely promoted by commercial clinics—even though major guidelines warn against it
• The real risks of carotid testing: false alarms, invasive angiography, stroke, and inappropriate surgery
• How age, smoking history, genetics, and sex dramatically change your risk of vascular disease
• The difference between evidence-based screening and marketing-driven testing

You will learn:

• The statistical realities behind AAA rupture rates and repair outcomes
• Why carotid bruits and ultrasound findings are often misleading
• How to determine whether YOU fall into a high-risk category
• When vascular screening is life-saving—and when it’s harmful
• How screening guidelines are developed and why experts disagree
• The essential questions to ask your clinician before any vascular test

Unlike most health books that oversimplify or promote fear, this one gives you the tools to:

• Understand the benefits, limitations, and harms of vascular tests
• Avoid unnecessary surgeries and anxiety caused by overdiagnosis
• Confidently weigh your personal risk factors
• Protect yourself from misleading advertisements and overtesting
• Make informed, evidence-based decisions about your vascular health
