Nick Bellini; 58 year old attorney; no symptoms of heart disease "Hi, My name is Nick Bellini. I'm a 58 year old trust attorney living in Washington, D.C. I'd always considered myself to be in very good physical condition - I exercised regularly, golfed, didn't smoke; and tried to maintain a healthy diet. But like many men my age -I was concerned about my heart, particularly since I had high cholesterol, and a strong family history of premature coronary disease.While I had absolutely no symptoms of heart disease, no shortness of breath, no pains in the chest, several friends of mine had had the scans done and I thought "Well, why not? It sounds good to me". My HeartScan revealed a significant amount of atherosclerosis - or early heart disease. Based on my test results, my cardiologist recommended additional testing and I eventually had a successful double coronary artery by-pass operation. Six weeks later, I was back at work - and on the golf course. My advice to other men like me is to seriously consider a HeartScan. This is a non-invasive test - completely. You're done in a matter of 30 seconds to a minute. There is no discomfort; it's quick and easy, and there's no reason that someone should give any thought to being concerned about the test. I think today, for someone who has an inkling of suspicion, that they are at risk for heart disease - either through family history or high cholesterol levels, that you're extremely foolish if you don't take advantage of this test. I now carefully follow a healthy diet, have lost several pounds and have maintained a regular exercise program. I feel terrific. I find myself not worrying about whether or not I'm going to fall over and drop dead one day. I'm greatly indebted to HeartScan for having pointed out some things I should have done a long time ago."
