Is there a finger test that can detect heart disease? Part 2

The endopat is widely available in the office of many doctors. So the question is, “does it work?”

Well, the test is new and it is marketed heavily because it makes a lot of money for the doctors. The test cannot image your heart and no one knows for sure if the changes in the finger are the same as those in your heart.

More important, the test is not covered by most insurance or Medicare plans. When a test is not covered by Medicare, you can usually assume that it has more to do with profits for doctors .  In short, this is just another bogus test which has no practical application. One can tell easily that you are at high risk for heart disease just based on the history. One does not need an expensive finger test to tell a person to start walking or stop smoking.

Common sense indicates that people who live healthy, usually do not develop medical problems.

Save your money by avoiding this BS test and learn to live healthy. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol, change your lifestyle, stop smoking, start walking, and eat a healthy diet with low fat. This is one piece of advice which does not require an EndoPAT test.
