I've been 'volunteered'...
"HK" wrote in message ...
...for a "Free" vascular screening, in which "ultrasound is used to
create images of one's blood flow and detect blocked arteries."
OK, the prelude to the exhaust pipe exam was bad enough, now what am I
in for?
Personally,
I don't know about these kinds of tests...
Some people can have what shows to be 90% blockage
and never have a problem. Others, show little to no
blockage and drop dead from heart failure.
The body has a miraculous way of rerouting capillaries
around the heart to compensate for blockages. I believe
this characteristic is stronger in some than others.
I would question the results *whatever* they be and..
"Good luck with all that"
JMO.
I recall similar testing for lung disease pre-screening and remember
the results indicated it caused more anxiety regarding
false positives than you might imagine.
