> It's not sexy, and as a result an overwhelming majority of the population is unaware about how to avoid succumbing to it

When I started building an ECG Holter in my early 20s, I tried to get some friends to use it and kept hearing "yeah, but it’s not exactly sexy to wear that thing." That’s when it hit me how little people care about prevention until something goes wrong. We still have a huge awareness gap to close.

I asked a heart doctor for a calcium scan. He said I didn't need that, but he wanted me to wear a Holter monitor for a few days (reasons unknown). I did not.

That was years ago. I have different doctors now but still no calcium scan. Time to ask again possibly.
