CEO Saved By Own Scan
The CEO of Mountain Vista Medical Center decided to participate in a discounted scan promotion his hospital was running to show support. In truth, it may have saved his life. The hospital was running a promotion on a CT scan called HeartView for under a hundred dollars. Once scanned, the CEO was shocked to know he had an abnormality in his aorta.
Not knowing of this childhood heart condition, the CEO had calcium deposits on his arteries and he was at high risk for heart disease. Now he is managing his weight and watching his blood pressure. He says the scan saved his life, and has even had his whole family scanned as a result. Such scans can detect heart related issues early, making treatment easier and more effective.
