Just Googled it - Coronary Artery Calcium Scan. It apparently measures the amount of calcium in your heart etc.

I haven't had one.

I've heard of it, but no.

I'm waiting for one, it was cancelled last week as the scanner was kaput .

I would be interested to hear how it goes. Private or NHS? - If you don't mind, that is.

I had one last year. I had been diagnosed with a colonic tumor and the surgeon wanted me to be checked out as fit for the op. The N&N chest pain clinic sent me for a scan, So I had a scan. My calcium score of 1839 put me well up in the county league, so I was whizzed to papworth for a triple bypass. What else do you want to know ?

Thanks for your reply. Good to know it was effective.
