WebMD reviews items included in the 2007 annual physical examination of President George H. Bush. The inclusion of both exercise treadmill testing and stress echocardiogram is a bit unusual since he has not reported any symptoms, at least according to the publicly available information.
An annual physical examination of healthy people is not recommended by any national medical society.
