Jane's Story, Part 1. It didn't take much convincing for Jane to realize she was at great risk for a heart attack and get a heart scan. Her father died at 53, one brother died at 51, and another at 59. All from heart attacks. Her first heart scan showed she did have heart disease and a score of 365 which put her 35 points below the severe risk category. Armed with this knowledge, and helped by an informed physician and a husband who was very fit, had a healthy lifestyle, and was a marathon runner, Jane became very proactive in monitoring her own heart heath. Jane was successful in stopping her heart disease and lowering her risk to that of a person her age with a score of zero. But this is not the end of Jane's story. It is Jane who will be telling her husband's story. Stay tuned. In the meantime, check your heart. www.cruxpoint.com
