Get as many scans you can under insurance. Data is king and Claude happens to chew it all pretty well. Apple Health data by itself and family history is enough to make a starter PDF for your cardiologist.

Getting an ECG, EKG, TTE, CAC, carotid duplex US, lipid panel, CMP, TSH, 25-OH Vit D, B12 + folate were what my cardio recommended before appointment #2 on hypertension. Both of us are data guys.

You don't even necessarily need insurance. Some of those tests you listed are pretty cheap so most people reading this can afford to pay out of pocket even if they're not covered by insurance.

> ECG, EKG

Those are the same thing, did you mean to type something else?
