High calcium score: I'm in shock

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!

Hi There.
Regardless of your calcium score if a person does a treadmill stress test ( Bruce protocol ) and hits the highest level with very strong recovery. Too me it makes sense that there is very lots of blood flow to the heart allowing for a fast recovery,
Does this make sense to everybody ? It seems to me if there was a lot of blockage it would be difficult to do well on this test.

You are right- one would have to go in and look, but that’s not happening unless there are symptoms.
I had the cardiac cath where they saw all coronary arteries as part of testing before I got a new aortic valve. They would have placed stents if needed.
