> heart attack risk

Not sure, but don't ECGs find cases of severe plaques or narrowed arteries? Or most cases of heart disease.

> aneurism risk

An angiography should find most cases, from some quick research. "The CTA sensitivity, specificity and accuracy was 80%, 43% and 73%, respectively. The CTA sensitivity for aneurysms < 3 mm and 3 mm – 5 mm in size was 30% and 81.5%, respectively (p = 0.024)." [1]

Agree on the rest though.
