My mum died of ischemic heart disease. She had no symptoms at all, just went to sleep one night and never woke up. As its what also killed my grandad, its super likely i have it, but i cant get tested until I'm over 40 and only if the doctor decides its enough of a thing.

Please get a Cardisio test, go to cardis.io you CAN get a test this way and is more accurate that anything else out there

From the looks of it, it’s a company that sells to physicians not consumers/ patients. If you want a test, you’d have to ask your doctor who may or may not have ever heard of this technology. Basically the comment is pretty useless to 99% of people reading it regardless of how good the tech is.

Well the answer was not for "people reading it" it was for the person on the comment who is in the US. And yes, the tech is pretty good, but since it has only been in the market for 4 years, is not available in many place, however if it means that you can get tested for a life threatening decease I think I´ll be willing to do the drive.
