I’m looking for more test to add to my yearly checkups

I get just about every blood test you can get every 3 months to try to stay as healthy as possible. And I get echos and eks every year. But What your guys opinions on getting coronary calcium scans?

Just had one.. its a great tool to have for your cardiologist to make any needed adjustments

Thats not something you do yearly. (They dont recommend it with the radiation dose).
But at least get one to see where youre at...

How old are you? If your not climbing into the mid-to upper 40’s or into your 50’s then it’s probably not gonna be necessary. Unless you have hereditary family medical issues in your DNA.

Annually, just do:
Transoesophageal echocardiogram
Ultrasound of liver & kidneys

Routine checkup, i.e., every 6 months or more frequently:
Lipids, haematocrit/haemoglobin, liver (GGT, ALT, AST) & kidney (24-hr creatinine clearance test, specifically). Adding C-reactive protein (CRP) is good also, especially if using black market gear.

If you really want to splurge:
Serum IGF-I
Apo B / Apo A1 ratio
