I know, but not much to do about it. I h. ad an FFR done and have an FFR of 0.76 in my distal LAD (non stentable), but nothing else showed up. Cardiologist has offered to do a cath but as long as I'm asymptomatic going to hold off until I notice a problem or drop dead. So far I've made it 6 years with this philosophy. My CAC is multi vessel (mostly LAD and RM, with some LM and LCX). I'm afraid a cath might lead directly to multiple stents or a multiple bypass, and after watching my father die after bypass at 55 am a little gun shy.
