Everyone with interest or concern about high calcium scores should read the blogs of noted Harvard Cardiologist, Doctor Bernard Lown, founder of the Lown Institute ( deceased in his 90's in 2021) especially Essays #28 and #31.
Dr. Lown was considered a renegade who challenged the "industry" of over treating folks such as us who
are handed high calcium scores, are invited into heart cath labs, given grave prognoses, and ultimately( irresistibly) subjected to Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery(CABG).
He rails against the modern practice of some cardiologists to use fear tactics over logic sometimes out of conviction, but always with economic consequences for the patient and the doctor(s).
Please read Doctor Lown's own words.
