I cannot think of any reason not to get the scan. I’ve had 2 and my wife had one. She found out she had an 85% blockage in her LAD and required stinting. Probably saved her life. I’ve had several doctors say that the heart scan should be part of every physical after the age of 50.

The only thing I do worry about is the radiation from the scan. The results outweigh the risk but…..

I wish my doc had told me to get one. It might have prevented the stroke I had 2 months ago.
