I’m wondering if I need CAC test. I recently got a carotid ultrasound after requesting same from my primary for a pain I had felt in my neck. It’s gone now. The results showed no plaque. I’m not sure how to interpret that. My Dad had heart attack at age 63, quadruple bypass, 4 subsequent stents stayed active on major meds under cardiologist care and is hanging in there at age 87, though he does have some other issues.
No one has ever mentioned it to me. I’ve had 2 stress tests (both stress echocardiograms) years ago for symptoms determined to be anxiety. No issues with either. (The kind that shows image of heart after stress.)
