7 Heart Tests Your Doctor Won't Mention | Mike@69 #Shorts #cardiovascularhealth #medicare

What kills more of us than every cancer combined? Heart disease — and the screenings that catch it early are the ones most doctors won't bring up unless you ask. Your doctor has about 15 minutes and is triaging what's already on the chart, so prevention falls off the list. At 65, you have to be the one who asks.

The 7 to ask for (most are $0 if you qualify)
1. Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (free — the gateway to the rest)
2. Blood pressure, confirmed with a home or 24-hour monitor
3. Lipid panel + a one-time Lp(a) test for inherited risk
4. HbA1c for prediabetes
5. Colorectal screening
6. One-time aortic aneurysm ultrasound (if you qualify)
7. Bone density

Lp(a) is the one I'd never heard of until I started digging — it's genetic, about 1 in 5 of us have elevated levels, and it's a one-time test for life.

Print the free 7-test checklist, take it to your next appointment, and ask. The worst they say is no — and most won't.
