High Coronary Calcium Score: How do others feel emotionally?

alaskat,

I may be mixing threads ... did you get a Duke Score or a METS number from your stress test?

Was this a "stress test with echo?"

I may be confused, but you note the cardiologist wants you to be catheterized? Normally this occurs only with other symptoms noted - like chest tightness, breathing issues, etc.

Hi, correct. Cardiologist suggests that to find out with 100% assurance what amount of blockage I have is best to go for an angiogram. He has seen on the images a dark spot (blockage). If angiogram does not reveal blockage over 70% then I go home. Hoping for that.
