A friend had this done and she got a score of zero HOWEVER the scan revealed an aortic aneurism that would have killed her by the end of the year if not detected and treated. She had open heart surgery to fix it four days later. She should live her full life expectancy. Get this test done if you're over 50.
Thanks for the info. My husband is going in July 2022 to get this study done. This makes it easier on us knowing what he’s going in for. Appreciate it!
Thank you. Please keep posting videos as this channel is priceless.
the best I can do at the moment is to keep watching your brilliant videos and recommend your channel for every colleague striving to save the human kind
Thank you, that was a good basic explanation.
I just learned that most of these tests don’t measure the soft plaque, unless you get the “Cleerly”, test. I recently read a story of someone who had a zero calcium score and they ended up having a heart attack with a 95% blockage of soft plaque!!😳
Thank you, that was a good basic
This is an excellent explanation of calcium scoring. Because I have FH (familial hypercholesterolemia) I had one at age 35 and was at a 0 and had my second one at age 50 and it jumped to a 15. I'm working to slow that progression.
I have this test in a few days I am extremely nervous 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Brilliant channel. How about a video about LBBB? Most videos available talking how to pin point LBBB from ECG interpretations. What is needed how to survive it and treatment, if any available? Thanks.
Thank you !🙂
Turned 50 this year and have had a list of things “to do.” This is second to last on the list, the last being a Shingles vaccine. Had a vascular screening, fine. Cholesterol is fine, etc. Don’t even know why they want me to get this as I have no family history of heart disease. I’m not overweight, don’t smoke (never have), drink in moderation and so forth. My Dr. said it was that I have gout. Dunno, guess we’ll see. Going for a score of 0. Wasn’t a problem in my physics class, I think I can pull that off.
Here is a really interesting question. What is the relationship between Wellens syndrome and calcium score.
There are 2 type of plaques. Sometimes unstable plaques doesnt contain Ca, so how does this test / score confirm risk?
Very interesting...Thanks for the information
I have already subscribed this channel but seldom gets these topics
Is there a test to detect soft plaque ?
I wish Dr's would stop talking only about single event exposure to ionizing radiation (xrays) - risk is also about total dose someone has during their lifetime too... single event and total dose, both are risks. Total dose might contribute decades later to topics like cancer if the patient doesn't minimize their exposure over time - even if they're low exposures since ionizing radiation does damage each time which accumulates over long periods.
Can this test be done for a person whose angioplastyis already done. Pl confirm. Thank you
