I’d like to know the answer to that too 🙂, what did your cardio say? Any good information on the net?
I had a calcium score of 2 which is low. The scan doesn’t show up soft plaque in the arteries though. A cardiac catheterisation is the gold standard for diagnosing coronary heart disease. I’ve had one of those too and my arteries were clean.
no, had my carotid artery scanned and it's as clean as a new born. apparently that's good

I had one Jan 05 prior to atrial ablation and my EP showed it to me via computer screen, detailing what he said was a good report without calicification. He never said the degree of accuracy.
