Brian Good news is that the IMATRON scan showed my heart arteries had no calcium buildup. I am in the lowest group numerically. On the otherhand I have some of the classic symptoms of heart problems. Shortness of breath---a lot of dizziness, walking gets offbalance when I get the dizziness. Early morning difficulty breathing and congestion, palpitations and headaches. Sudden fatigue as though going to passout---but don't. So I know something is askew. Took stress test several years ago. Okay on test----but heart palpitations after the exercise. Nurse commented that a lot of people experience palpitations after the stress test----but computer readout was okay---with exception of a small leak in the mitral valve which doc did not think significant. More than you needed----glad I plunked down my $. When I had the scan done, I talked to the technician who indicated the flow of customers decreased when the price was increased and that doctors stopped referring patients when the price increased. Cost was $475.00. It will be fascinating to see what the alliance with GE will do. Certainly GE has the marketing skills and is a household word. mj
