Absolutely the BEST money I have ever spent!!!

For the past ten years, I have eaten well, exercised regularly, and have not smoked cigarettes. After taking a break for hunting season, I returned to my exercise routine but could not get my walking pace back to where it had been(15:00 min. miles ) prior to hunting season. I listened to my body and knew I just wasn't feeling as good as I should. In February I went to a heart day at a local hospital hoping something maybe would show up, but it didn't, I passed with flying colors!!!! I hit the old walking trails and treadmills once again, thinking it was just me out of shape. After a couple of weeks my pace was still off (18:00 min. miles ) and not getting any better. At that point I remembered Rick and Bubba doing a cardio risk assessment last year at Birmingham Heart Clinic. I checked it out on BHCs website and called to make an appointment. On April 10, I scored over 2400 on the cardiac risk assessment. My blockages turned out to be 70, 80, 90, and even 100%. On April 22, I had open heart surgery - 5 bypasses. Had these procedures not been done, I do not know if I would still be alive today. According to my cardiologist, I was "a walking time bomb". The heart scan provided me with information that other heart screenings did not. I encourage anyone to consider having the cardiac risk assessment done, regardless of your activity level, age or healthy lifestyle. The scan is completely painless and non-invasive, and the cost is minimal. Being proactive about your heart health can save your life; it certainly saved mine. Thank you to all the super friendly staff and physicians of the Birmingham Heart Clinic! Keep up the Great work all of you are doing. IT IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR PATIENTS LIVES!!!
