I hear advertisements for full body scans. To detect blockage in arteries in the neck etc.
Anyone had one?
My Doctor has never mentioned it or have I thought to ask. I get the normal bloodwork and all.
I have a cardiologist. I get stress tests now and then. So far, no blockage(so he says). Etc.
I know of folks who's heart attacks/strokes and such are usually complete surprises/shock.
Could one of these scans have been preventative?
Heart disease/stroke runs broadly in my Family.
If insurance paid or not....would you get one?
Thoughts?
