Vascular Screening:

[HL]

Yesterday, for $142.00 I did the following 4 cardiovascular tests:

* Atrial Fibrillation
* Abdominal Aortic Aueurysm
* Peripheral Arterial Screening
* Carotid Atrial Screening

These test were designed to detect early signs for heart disease and stroke.

The final test results will be sent to me in a few days--but the indications are that all's well.

I think that we should be more proactive (instead of being reactive) as far as our health is concerned.

The testing company is called Life Line Screening. They do preventative ultrasonic screening of all sorts. They can be contacted at 800-679-5190.

To be REALLY proactive is to go do research and find out what causes CVD and adapt your diet accordingly.

[Gamma]

was the testing related to insurance or did you opt to do it on your own accord, or prelude, as the case may be?

[HL]

I did it on my own accord. No insurance involved.

[HL]

Diet and exercise play a major part in CVD prevention (and control). Indeed Willi!!

[Willi]

What about the blood chemistry workup?

To screen for C-reactive protein levels, Homocysteine levels and Super-Oxide dysmutase (SOD) levels?

[HL]

Yes, those blood chemistry tests are important too.

(You left out the important cholesterol /[HDL, LDL ratio, triglyceride etc...etc...........)

Den suppose di man had done di testing at his own Civic (instead of accord or prelude)!

Well done HL.
