Diagnostic healthcare beyond bloodwork?

[RzSco]

we are all hopefully getting our bloods checked semi regularly but there are other sides to the health story as well

An obvious and easy one is monitoring your blood pressure, for example. I do this regularly.

I’d like to invite discussion on other ways we can monitor our health. For example, I was thinking a heart MRI done periodically might be a smart move to monitor any development of LVH.

I get cardiac ultrasounds and EKG done yearly due to a genetic heart condition (BAV), I find both of those helpful to monitor for issues like those. Getting a CAC score once every 3-5 years for younger guys or every 2 years or so for someone older would be very helpful as well
