There was a general fitness check included in my VHI. Went up to the Santry clinic, had a few things strapped to my chest, mask on my face and was put on a treadmill. Not too sure it would have shown up SADS symptoms, but put my mind at ease for another whiel anyway. If ya have health insurance check it out - it might be included in your policy.
