Routine pre-exercise heart check often not needed

Probably right for at least two reasons.

"Most generally healthy adults starting an exercise program do not need to see their doctor first, researchers say.

Routine medical screening before starting a regular exercise regimen with the goal of reducing the risk of sudden exercise-induced death is not recommended, the researchers wrote in a report published this month."

The first is that "exercise" is too weenie to cause real harm. Or real good for that matter.

The second is that most people do not engage in physical activity anyway so why would they need a "pre-exercise heart check"?
