What I was trying to describe to you in the previous comment is that they have transducers maybe only 1 - 3 mm in diameter at the end of a very sophisticated instrument 3 - 4 feet long, which is then inserted into the femoral artery in a patient's groin and then manipulated into the iliac artey and up through the aorta into the coronary arteries to assess them for atherosclerotic disease.

I am aware of it and I declined to go through it for numerous reasons. I am now on a swlf-prescribed medical regimin which has decreased my heart arrythmia and, surprisingly, has reduced a painful problem in the heel of my right foot.

Ugh! They better knock me out with the good stuff before trying anything like this on me.
