I read that article early on when I received an abnormal Ca Score. It did make me think a bit.
I also took the Arizona Score...I received a score of 7 which they consider low risk...made me feel better also.
Let me point the group to another article...it really hit home for me, because this journalist had almost the EXACT same profile as me...and he had a follow-up article about his experience 10 years later. Article: "I thought my heart attack risk was low. A coronary calcium scan told me otherwise." in the Washington Post... https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/i-thought-my-heart-attack-risk-was-low-a-coronary-calcium-scan-told-me-otherwise/2019/07/19/893da806-774b-11e9-b3f5-5673edf2d127_story.html
An interesting article, but I kept hearing, "You don't need to know what is going on, we'll let you know what to do."
Probably an unfair assessment on my part ...
