@nycmusic CT calcium scan injects a dye so that the amount of calcified plaque in your heart arteries can be seen. Blockages can also be seen. Based on the results, the doctor may prescribe a statin, and may even order an angiogram to get a real inside look at the arteries. (I've been there, done that with all this!)
