"A television ad for $100 heart scans at Norman Regional Hospital has given a Norman man a second chance at life.VIDEO: \n\"I think because I was saved and baptized, that is one of the reasons why somebody helped me find out where was something wrong with me,\" said Johnnie York.The commercial for the low-cost heart scan caught his attention two months ago.He said he was concerned about his wife because she has a family history of heart problems. When she called to make an appointment, she asked him whether he wanted to get scanned, too.\"I thought, why not? It's only $100. We can both get it done and that way it will give us something to work off of,\" he said.He said it was the best $100 he ever spent.The test gives the patient a number based on the risk factor for cardiovascular disease. A score of 400 indicates a high risk. York said his wife's score was zero. His was 1,184.\"If I had a heart attack, there would have been no recovery from it,\" he said. \"I would have dropped dead.\"Doctors said one of York's arteries was 90-percent blocked. Another was 50-percent blocked. He was in surgery to undergo a double bypass a little more than a week later and now said he feels great.York said he never knew there was a silent killer lurking inside his body until he made the decision to get a heart scan. He encourages others to do the same.\"I know now that I probably got another 20 years of life,\" he said. \"I have a large family and I want to be able to be there with them.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
