Yep the same could be said for heart catherization. If you have elevated cholesterol they wouldn't do a heart cath unless you have significant symptoms. Heart caths carry risks and are an expensive procedure. You basically have to progress to a point in heart disease were more risky and aggressive is warranted. This might not be an exact parallel but similar.
