    The frequency of recommended screenings can change based on family history. A heart scan and arterial ultrasound may not be recommended if you have no family history of heart disease and you have no indicators for it yourself. And with our shit health insurance industry you may not be able to get certain screenings paid for if your doctor isn’t able to convince of their necessity, which having family history can help them do.
