He was eating his way to a heart attack and might even have died suddenly – but a health screening saved his life.

Mr Victor Rodrigues, 59, a real estate company owner, said: ‘The doctor said if the blockages in my arteries hadn’t been discovered, I could get a stroke or suddenly drop dead while I was out running.’
