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!

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.
