1 Citation In an effort to determine whether or not Torran's high blood pressure is affecting his body, he's having an echocardiogram tomorrow. That's ultrasound imaging of his heart.

So off we w, technorati.com

1 Citation Do you remember this post ? To refresh your memory, at some future date a doctor tells his patient that his heart is wearing out and it was time to take corrective action. Technology has made transplants a thing of the past - the plan for the young man?s treatment include gene matching, heart muscle regeneration, and even an artificial heart! Near the beginning of that post I mentioned that the doctor used his handheld echocardiogram on our patient. Sounds a bit far fetched, doesn?t it? I b, technorati.com

What is a Holter Monitor and Why Am I Wearing It? 1 Citation I got a lesson yesterday that sometimes the mind is stronger than the body. Never would I have thought that I would have to wear a heart holter monitor but with my family history and Type 2 diabetes it made sense. I had a stress test yesterday afternoon that I thought would only take an hour but it turned into me becoming the office guinea pig. They slowly worked the treadmill up to a anaerobic level and they monitor your heart with about 30 leads attached to my body. After 1 person left t, technorati.com

Gratitude Monday ? Relaxation Edition 1 Citation David Thompson Highway at Preacher's Point. Photo is unrelated to post, but is relaxing. Hypnosis is a wonderful tool when done properly. I studied it 13 years ago and am reasonably adequate at it. I?m pleased and grateful to say that I am really good at self-hypnosis. This comes in very handy when I have to do something that makes me shudder. I used it to remain calm during laser eye surgery, to relax my body so I wouldn?t gag during dental work, and last week I used it so I could handle, technorati.com

1 Citation Late last year I had an echocardiogram...see this post for details. My health insurance, United Healthcare, sent me a letter before the test, and I realize now looking back that the wording is tricky. For example:"Based on the information reviewed, we are pleased to inform you that coverage is available."Is available, yes. Just not for me - at least not the full amount. It goes on to say:"All covered services are subject to screening for allowable charges. The final allowable charge(s) will be d, technorati.com
