I have seen the personal courage not just of the doctors and nurses but of everyone, the cleaners, the     1     (cook), the health care workers of every description—physios, radiographers—     2     have kept coming to work, kept putting themselves in harm’s way, kept     3     (risk) this deadly virus.

The tests are not all standard,    4     the results will give you a much better and earlier sense of your heart disease risk than the traditional     5     (rely) on blood pressure and cholesterol levels. They can help you change your habits as     6     (need) to protect your heart for life.

It’s considered one of the best ways     9     (assess) heart disease risk. Your doctor will place 10 small electrodes     10     measure your heart’s electrical activity on your limbs and chest and will detect any abnormal rhythms and other dangerous cardiovascular conditions.
