Ha. The other way of looking at it is that some people are fortunate enough to be able to exert some control over the fluffiness/stickiness of the cholesterol while others aren’t and have other factors driving their body’s desire to build up arterial plaque. I would guess you (fortunately!) fall into the first category, while I’m in the second one. But I’ve run thousands of miles over the last two decades, walk 3 miles/day, and do resistance training. If this worked as a significant variable for me in terms of my plaque situation I wouldn’t have a CAC or three hundred and friggin’ ninety seven at 42.

Dr. Agotsten called me a 'rock star' (same statistical odds as outlier or zebra) and added. "Now don't go out and take advantage of the good luck and slug off on eating right and regular exercise!"

I went straight to an ice cream store for a hot fudge sundae and skipped the treadmill for 2 weeks. I think the Berkeley Cardio profile identified a gene predicting that I'd likely slough off or the good doctor has seen my kind before. lol
