Rick Bales :
It was beneficial to me, because it woke me up to the reality of a 957 score. I have modified my lifestyle dramatically and am doing all I can to reduce my risk

Yes! Rolling along with normal BP, low RHR, but slightly elevated total cholesterol. Then I went and did that damn CaC score (540), and now everyone is freaked out I’m going to have a heart attack! I’m an active triathlete that does extreme exertion exercise with no issues. My cardiac stress test was normal. Now I’m on 10mg Lipitor, and my doctor wants to go higher! What to do 😳

You say no cardiologist should prescribe it. Probably you are right. But there are many people like me who had ChatGPT say to go and get one, and were surprised at a positive result. Then we got a cardiologist, got on a statin, saw you on TikTok for the first time, and woke up to the situation generally. None of this would’ve happened without the test. We would’ve continued blind thinking nothing was wrong. Out PCPs are not watching out for us like a cardiologist would.

Is there any validity to the claim that oats remove cholesterol from the blood?

blkcatgal 🐾🐈⬛🐾 :
If my primary doctor thinks I don’t need these tests (like LP(a), etc.) and only does a routine lipid panel, should I see a cardiologist?

My cac was 2900 and I asked for the test- 2 years ago. Dr did angiogram and told me after I needed bypass. Ended with quadruple bypass. 40 atorvastatin and ezetimibe.

What does it hurt to have it done, it isn’t bad for your health if it is really high or low it’s good to know

st :
In the world of insane health insurance copays, getting the $100 calcium score seemed like the right move to decide to go deeper with very low risk off labs and lifestyle (1.7% chance of event in next 10yrs). Turned out to be very high which prompted more expensive tests like PET nuclear stress which showed real potential issues and now a Cath to confirm it all. Wouldn’t have pursued this path without that signal mostly bc of the insane costs in deciding to investigate or not. I understand the lack of meaning of the test but seems it’s still worth checking for another signal in people like me.

My last calcium score was 516. No symptoms. Should I push for a CCTA? I do have sharp pains from time to time.

58 here scored a 224 three days ago. Non symptomatic. First time ever visit to a cardiologist, precautionary (135 BP) in nature - was screening for another marathon training session in my old age. Already ran 15 marathons and countless half’s BQ’d over 30 years after being a 260 pound D1 college lineman - ran off 60 pounds of muscle and did my first marathon in grad school. As soon as I googled & chatgpt’d my score I started getting emails and text about funeral homes and life insurance. Been quite a weekend of doom scrolling. Grrr.

Thank you for the information, my primary position had me go get a calcium screening and my number came back at 295 and I’ve been freaking out about it. But my blood pressure averages 128/70. Also does the supplement nattokinase work for removing soft plaque?
