Did an echo stress test right after got CAC score 1,328. Echo Duke Score saying my risk was "only" 10%, walls and muscles are fine, injection great.
I am aggressively pushing cardiologist for invasive angiogram, said he would do, my PCP says "No Way." My brother had three stents put in 2 years ago, he is one year younger than me. My mother lived to be 93, died of pancreas cancer. In her mid 80's, she had quintuple bypass, only symptom, fatigue and loss of breath when climbing stairs.
