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.

I'm not really concerned. I don't have any symptoms. My wife volunteered
me for the test because I am old, decrepit, and well-insured. :}
