High calcium score: I'm in shock
Heart & Blood Health | Last Active: Oct 31, 2023 | Replies (161)Comment receiving replies
I had a calcium score of 87.
On a CT scan the LAD was calcified.
I recently had a cardiac cath done and to my surprise all coronary arteries were clear. The calcium must have been on the outside.

Yeah - I wish there was more certainty wrt calcium location - would alleviate some anxiety.
The only way to tell is apparently to actually LOOK with optical device ... if there is a real goodness to the procedure it is that the cardiologist will place a stent/stents in any areas signficantly blocked, thereby potentially saving one's life!
