Thank you for your response. I am challenged to calm down - I can’t get into a cardiologist for 2 months for further tests. I am calling daily. I am very healthy and active until this came up 4 days ago. Now I’m scared to move…

nany123,

You didnt respond as to whether you had a CTA (CT Angiogram) or the CAC component using a CT machine.

Have you gotten a Cardio IQ or advanced lipids panel? (this is possible without a cardiologist - just use your PCP if referral is required). Report back with your blood work metrics!

Have you gotten a stress test and stress test echo done? (this is possible without a cardiologist - just use your PCP if referral is required). Report back with the findings from these tests.

I am recommending you get smart on all of this quickly - use your PCP to get data that will be useful. Please do not wait for a cardiologist to walk you through these basics that you can have completed in advance of your first consult.
