Yes it is amazing this technology,two hours ago I was surfing in Watergate Bay,
watching the local military helicopter boys seeing how low they can go,
(And they can go low),next minute am back on pprune!

The debate seems to be around if the various cardiac tests
Performed,can reliably predict future problems. There are
Various methods we use to predict risk,some high tech
(Scans of plaque on arteries) ' some low tech,
Using risk calculators eg Framingham. _Unfortuntelty,
Neither can pinpoint which patients will drop down
Due to that risk_the technology 'aint that good

Should you continue to have your health checks ? .Yes as they
Can reduce the risk but they won,t guarantee that you
Won't drop down dead the day after.
