The Heart Scan That Could Save Your Life (And Why You Can't Get One) - Kim Mischo
from Stay Off My Operating Table · host Dr. Philip Ovadia
Cardiac imaging expert Kim Mischo spent 20 years inside the cardiology machine — running nuclear stress tests that told patients they were fine, then watching some of those patients have heart attacks the following week. She knew the system was broken long before she could prove it.Now she can prove it.A non-invasive scan exists that can detect coronary artery disease at 5% blockage — before symptoms, before a stress test would ever flag anything. It's been guideline-recommended since 2021. It's 99% accurate. And insurance won't cover it.The reason why is the part of this conversation that will stay with you.Dr. Philip Ovadia and Kim Mischo walk through the technology, the economics, and the quiet institutional logic that keeps a life-saving diagnostic tool out of reach for most Americans — while a far less accurate, far more expensive alternative continues to dominate cardiology practices nationwide.This is a conversation about what early detection of heart disease could look like, and why it doesn't yet.BIG IDEABetween 50 and 60 percent of patients die from their first heart attack — which means the insurance company never had to pay a single claim related to their coronary disease.Kim Mischo Contact Info: Website: https://clearheartandlung.com/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.
