| "I'm probably the world's best example of why this test is so important. I was probably the most vigorous, active 61 year old on the face of this earth. I'd play racquetball 5 times per week for 2 hours at a clip and run guys 20 years my junior off the court. Whenever I had the chance, I'd be snow skiing or playing tennis. I had tons of energy and no chest pain. And yet, my scan showed that I had massive disease. My score was off the charts. At first, I was devastated, and I must say, my personal physician was somewhat skeptical. But further testing confirmed the diagnosis and shortly thereafter, I had quadruple bypass surgery. That was three years ago, and right now, life couldn't be better. I've just returned from a terrific vacation in Mexico with the entire family, and I can't help but think that if it wasn't for Heart Check America.... "

| "As a psychologist, I spend a great deal of time helping my clients/patients confront reality. When it comes to my own health, I practice what I preach. I know that heart disease is a major health issue for women. Heart disease accounts for many more deaths among women than all types of cancer combined. That's why I decided to confront this matter head on by obtaining a Coronary Artery Scan. And, it's a good thing I did. Despite the fact that I've always been fit and thin and taken good care of myself, my test showed I was building plaque within my coronaries far faster than would be expected of a woman my age. I'm now working with my physician and we're aggressively addressing my risk factors. I'm really pleased with my progress and quite thankful I received this early warning."

| "I've been under a lot of stress lately, so I thought it would be a good idea to take this new test. I was really concerned when the results came back positive, but then I realized how lucky I was to have this knowledge early, when I can still do something about it. I talked to my doctor, we made some changes in my diet and lifestyle, and now everything appears to be under control. I hate to think what could have happened if I never heard of Coronary Artery Screening."

| "I've always been worried about my heart. I've got high cholesterol and a strong history of heart disease in my family. Now that my Coronary Artery Scan was negative, my enjoyment of life has increased 100%. I still try to maintain a healthy diet, but let me tell you, that occasional steak, french fries or ice cream sure taste a whole lot better without the guilt."

| "The test was fast, easy and painless. I was in and out in a few minutes. I'm glad I did it. I feel a sense of relief knowing I'm not a candidate for a heart attack."

| "My electrocardiogram was normal again this year. So was my treadmill test. My doctors told me I was in great shape, and that's exactly the way I felt. No pain, no discomfort, no symptoms. Then, I had a Coronary Artery Scan performed, and it indicated I had heart disease that these other tests couldn't detect. Now, I'm under my cardiologist's care and I should be just fine. This new test probably saved my life!"

| "I'm a 60 year old health care executive who's been interacting with doctors on a professional basis for many years. And, all during this time, I was steadily and silently building up massive heart disease. No one had any idea - not me, my wife, my personal physician or any of the doctors I deal with regularly. I was fit and active, and had no symptoms whatsoever. But, I knew that many people who've had heart attacks also had no symptoms. That's why I called 1-800-NEW-TEST to schedule an appointment for Heart Check America's new test for early detection of heart disease. The test clearly showed this disease which had never before been detected or even suspected. I consulted with a cardiologist, had some further testing, and then had quintuple bypass surgery. You better believe I feel extremely fortunate this new technology was available to help save my life. So, please take my advice. Call Heart Check America at 1-800-NEW-TEST to schedule your appointment."

| "For months I'd been hearing on the radio how Heart Check America's new test for heart disease has saved lives. I thought this was real interesting, but probably didn't apply to me because I was as healthy as a horse and never had a chest pain in my entire life. Then one of my buddies suggested that a group of us get tested, and wouldn't you know it - I was the one with serious heart disease. I was totally shocked and so was my doctor, but further testing confirmed the diagnosis. I had angioplasty performed within days and my surgeon said I was one very lucky man. I'm thrilled with my new lease on life, but I'm also concerned because there are so many of you out there who may not be so lucky. That's why I asked Heart Check America if I could provide this testimonial."

| "I have never been overly-concerned about having heart disease. My blood pressure has always been terrific, I mostly eat a vegetarian diet, I exercise regularly and I easily passed a stress echo test just three months ago. There has been heart disease in my family, however, and my cholesterol is toward the high end of normal. So, when a friend told me about this test, the fact that it is so quick and also painless, I immediately decided to schedule an appointment while on vacation in the area. It was a good thing that I did! My scan showed that I was building plaque faster than 9 out of 10 women my age. My physician, after receiving the faxed report from Heart Check America, told me three times that he was so glad that I had taken this scan because I had been considered a low risk for heart disease in every way, except for family history. It provided information about my coronaries that enabled him to put me in a treatment program, without surgery. Now my chance of living a long, healthy life free of heart disease is greatly improved."

| "I'm no stranger to the tragedy of heart disease. My late husband suffered a major heart attack at the age of 50 and he had never experienced a chest pain in his entire life. I also lost two close friends to heart attacks, and they also had no previous symptoms. For years, I wished there was a test which could provide an early warning. Recently I heard a commercial for Heart Check America's new test for early detection of heart disease. To say I was intrigued would be a monumental understatement. I immediately called 1-800-NEW-TEST and scheduled appointments for both myself and my new husband. The test was just as represented - fast and totally painless. Fortunately, it showed neither one of us is at serious risk. I can't begin to tell you what a tremendous sense of relief that provided. So, my advice to you is simple - heart disease can strike anyone - male or female. And, just because you don't have symptoms doesn't mean you're not at risk. Call 1-800-NEW-TEST today to schedule your appointment, or better yet, take the test together just as we did."
