@doc4heart: I'm Dr. Michael Richman, a double board certified cardiothoracic surgeon, explaining the truth about CT angiograms of your heart arteries for asymptomatic patients and when testing is truly necessary. For more information or a lipid consultation you can go to my website at www.paladinmds.com ##heartattack##medtiktok##hearthealth##cardiovasculardisease##highcholesterol
I do the ct cardiac angiogram 3 years ago and was at a zero. 3 years later I now have plaque buildup. I am 61 and starting to have issues

I detest the stress test. Chemical feels like I’ll die, physical hurts my bad knee. Can I do a Coronary CT Angiography instead? Or no?

Having worked in IR, I’ve seen how the angle of the camera camera head can change the percent of narrowing.

I'm 47, for the past 2 or 3 months felt light shortness of breath when climbing the stairs. Went to my MD, not a cardiologist, after the regular check up, he concluded that my respiratory system may have been narrowed. He gave me nebulizer based medicines which I have used only once.
But sometimes, I feel like something, but very light under my left chest.

I’m 38 asymptomatic, family history of cardiomyopathy and atherosclerosis. I have high LDL. My doc recommended ECG, Echo and CT Angiogram. All came back clear which was a big relief. I think those tests are important regardless if your symptomatic or not

I had a stent put in after my second heart attack, I now have 3. Since my last stent I have shortness of breath and fatigue. My cardiologist is going to do another angiogram in June as I don't tolerate stress test. any thoughts?

My husband has been told he has 90% calcium build up and a valve aneurism but they’ve only done ekg and stress test. Is that sufficient? He’s 65 as of yesterday.

So in a symptomatic person over 40, a CT Angiogram is a good test?
