Where can I get another CAC test ?

I had a CAC test three years ago that returned a value of 1829. I then had a triple bypass. I have been following a recommended regime and now want to know what my calcium score is. Where can I get another CAC test? I was told that it cannot be done. Is this correct ?

Not sure you will get an answer from the AF community but more likely if you post on the BHF?

That’s funny because we had never heard of it until my brother called me earlier today to say that he had been sent for one before possibly starting on statins because his cholesterol score was highish but was told if calcium test was high then he would be put on statins. Even his GP had never heard of this. I was on statins years ago but came off because of side effects but was never given a calcium test that I know of.

I had a quote from Nuffield UK of £1800 to be done privately. So they do it if you pay. Need a referral.
