Hi @bitsygirl -

Well---I will stay anonymous LOL. Let's say I am in a major metropolitan area---one of the largest Radiology/Diagnostic Imaging providers within the domestic US. Yes---we offer CTCA with FFR. As I mentioned before, as an officer, I get all my medical studies completed for free, I never had the FFR--which is actually performed by a 3rd party as you may know.

Here is my personal perspective and my opinion ONLY...NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. I am both a healthcare executive and a clinician in the field about 25 years. I think modern medical therapy is fantastic! I know many Radiologists and Cardiologists and most believe that the non-invasive approach is best when patients present with no symptoms. In the words of my own cardiologists...You don't want to be rushed off to a Cardiac Lab to perform an invasive procedure---there is always risk. You hear people on this forum and others who will say maybe its time for a "peak"....NOPE, not unless you have symptoms IMHO. Having a stent or event bypass does not change the long term outcome of potentially having an "event".

Everyone is different for sure, I do prescribed to the low inflammation theory---I think that is key for not just heart disease, but for many other disease processes such as Cancer. I try to keep my A1C and LDL low---which is 4.9 and 31 as of 2 weeks ago...they have not moved for over a year. I only take 10 mg of Crestor and an aspirin from a prescription point of view, but do take some supplements such as berberine and bergamot. I had my other inflammation markers checked---and they are all low. I have an extremely low saturated fat diet that is high in fruits and vegetables/nuts. Exercise 5x week running 2.5 miles each time and light weights/biking 2x week.
