P.S. The wife and I did the heart scan last year. ZERO blockages!
It’s an amazing peace of mind to know that at our age we have low risks for heart attack from arterial blockages, and our EKGs came back clean too.
If your scan shows a problem, at least a cardiac specialist can do something about it before you die from it.
Sorry for your loss. Good advice.
How I wish this had been posted at the beginning of the year, it needs to go viral!
Starting in January I went to UC Health in Aurora Co. for a stress test and cardiology appointment. Failed the stress test, which I knew I would. Next was a Cardiac Catheterization which was supposed to be simple up the wrist procedure but turned out to be terribly painful as vein was collapsing so they had to go up the groin. Found a couple of blockages 60-70% but no stents were put in, treating with drugs. Over 75k hospital charged, insurance paid over 30k and I got the co-insurance bill for over 6k.
All of that expense and trouble could have been saved for only 99 bucks to get the same results.
You can be sure I am scheduling this scan just for a second look.
Thank you so much for this and I’m truly sorry for your loss.
I recently had two tests on my heart and since heart disease is my family’s most likely cause of death, it was a welcome surprise that I do not appear to be at risk.
