Know Your Family Health History!

Here is a case of a 66 year-old man who made his own abdominal aneurysm diagnosis by knowing his family history and speaking up about his lower back pain to his doctor!
 
Thanks to his continued surveillance by Cardiolgy Consultants of Philadelphia and his desire to stay healthy, he underwent a cardiac stress test and cardiac catheterization that showed severe life-threatening coronary artery disease. He underwent successful bypass surgery 4 days ago and is being discharged to home today.
 
The message here is to know your family history and not be afraid to speak to your doctor about your health concerns.
