No thanks-- had one already! And NONE of the things used to calculate risk were on the table. NONE.

8% in the next ten years. Fair enough. x42

I don't know my cholesterol numbers, so I couldn't take the test. Based upon the calculator, I guess obesity and family history no longer count?

Based upon the calculator I'd guess you should probably seek a different predictor.

Or I can continue to (try to) watch what I eat, excercise and have my physician track my important information when I get my yearly physical (including an EKG)

Well, all of those things mentioned are important to take care of. High cholesterol and smoking are huge contributors to heart disease. As an accurate test? Probably not so great.

Amazingly only a2% chance, but I certainly don't intend to bank on that given my portly wargaming physique and attraction to bad food. :)

Don't have some of the numbers needed,but I have one or two things in my favor;I don't smoke and my cholesterol is under control with proper meds(Simvistatin,specifically).
