Private provider Screen For Life has been sending letters to Western Australian (WA) consumers, promoting screening for heart disease, aneurysm and stroke risk at its mobile clinics. The four scans cost $A225, and the letter cites Heart Foundation data. However that organisation says it does no endorse the routine screening of people who do not exhibit symptoms. The WA Health Department also notes that the Screen For Life tests are not supported by public health officials anywhere in Australia
