Ever hear a story of a really fit 40 some year old that has a heart attack at the gym and is dead before he hits the ground ? Thats calcium that built up on the outside of the artery and caused the artery to collapse on it self.

A stress test will never find that kind of arterial sclerosis. Any guy with any heart disease in his family should have this test.

Good luck.
That shit really scares me. I've had stress tests before but I should check into that test.
