Recommendation AGAINST doing screening office EKGs:
In the past, chest x-rays and EKGs (electrocardiograms) were part of an annual exam. These tests in low risk individuals can actually be HARMFUL by leading to unnecessary further testing.
Here's a link to a new article recommending AGAINST screening EKGs.
What about vitamin D?
Vitamin D screening and supplementation has been the rage for the last few years. There are many claimed possible benefits, but the only proven use is to help calcium absorption in post-menopausal women.
Click for a June 2019 JAMA that shows NO BENEFIT of vitamin D supplementation to reduce the risk of heart attack in 83,000 people.
Insurance companies are catching on. Most will not cover this $300 test, and pass the cost directly to the patient.
Our office and COVID
We offer telemed Zoom meeting for patient who may be contagious, including patients with congestion, cough, fever or chills even if other causes are suspected.
Recommendations for screening and evaluation changes almost daily.
