Tim,

Time to get into it, then, Usual flow is something like:
- CAC ... if high, then
- advanced lipid panel/Cardio IQ ... don't skip this
- stress test with echo
- CT Angiogram ... if abnormal then
- Heart cath to check for flow, and stent if necessary

Hi Tim, I think a stress pressure MRI solves this given it's 3D and can show everything a stress test, echo and probably a heart cath can do. At least that's what my cardiologist here in London said. Waiting for insurance to kick in. 🙂
