There is a noninvasive test that will reveal cardiovascular disease before you start having any problems. That's the good news. The bad news is, it is not covered by most insurance companies; however, the cost is approximate $250 which is cheap compared to what could happen if you have a heart attack. Ask your doctor about it - it's a simple CT scan that takes all of ten minutes.

If you have read my blog in the past couple months, you'll know that the only problems my brother ever had was occasional rapid heart beats. No pain, nothing. He now has 6 stints in 2 angioplasties from two arteries that were clogged over 85%. As a precaution, I had it done and guess what? I see the Cardiologist Wednesday.
