I would like to have this done for preventative measures and as a baseline so I know what’s doing with my heart since I have high blood pressure and cholesterol and being treated for both so with this exam your head is out of the tube and the machine goes around? I did an mri once fully in the tube and it was horrible for me! Thank You! This test is the same as CTA of the coronary arteries correct?
This is a valuable video. They still push the stress test. Calcium Score,CIMT,CT Angiogram seal the deal for heart attack risk. Thanks for summarizing in such a short video.
My cardiologist only wanted to give me a treadmill test and I had to nag for a CIMT test. Luckily I didn't take his ridiculous high dose prescription of statins (I have no VLDL and TGs under 50)
but what about the iodine dye injected the body? is that harmful for most elderly already patients who were taking some ace inhibitors for hypertension?

I asked my cardiologist several times about getting a CAC score test. He said it doesn't give you the information you really need to know and wouldn't order it. Instead, he ordered a CT angiogram, which shows the soft plaque and the calcium. Apparently, the soft plaque is where the danger lies.
I'm scheduled for a CTA today. The same doctor started me out with a nuclear stress test a few weeks ago. He says the CTA will REALLY show us the condition of my coronary arteries. Why didn't he just START OUT with the CTA? I'm really concerned about all the radiation I have been taking on from my primary doctor, neurologists, and the cardiologist from all these scans and xrays. I stopped smoking last week with the help of patches and I am making changes to my diet. My symptoms have mostly subsided. I'm thinking about canceling the CTA. But I'm really unsure about it.
What about people who have this and it shows blockage but then they still have to have heart cath and then there's nothing there? Wouldn't it be better to just go ahead and have the heart cath and not be exposed to all this radiation doubled?
There are so many things wrong with this question-in terms of assumptions. It would take pages. In short - no. For a full discussion, get my book Prevention Myths. PrevMed.Health. Or on Amazon.

How long does it take to have a regular Angiogram through the Groin or wrist done? Once prepped, how long does that actual procedure take? Can you be put out for this, or heavily sedated?

What if your taking Synthroid for low thyroid can you get an injection of iodine? Also do you need a script or can one schedule the test without a script? I know you can get a calcium score without a script. thank you.
Thank you for instruction without obfuscation. Really does cut to the chase. So many of us enjoy mulling these sound bites.
Thanks

Congratulations! Good work.
@@PaintDryLifting how much tg
@Sheddkkhan 55 at most fasting on repeat tests. CAC zero but I'm getting a CT angiogram to be sure
Great information. Thank you so much.
but what about the iodine dye injected the body? is that harmful for most elderly already patients who were taking some ace inhibitors for hypertension?
I second that, but for patients with thyroid issues who take thyroid medication. Maybe Cr. Brewer can answer us both.
❗😲 You may glow in the dark ...
Not unless you have kidney problems.
Correct. Thanks
CT coronary angiogram will show blockages in detail then why go for CAC score test?

@@PrevMedHealth I see nothing wrong with this question.
@@gabriel65304 Think you already know.
@@gabriel65304 What are you thinking me for?
Can you recommend a place in NYC for a good CIMT test? Or CT angiogram? Thank you for your help

Wonderful new potential treatment. What was the main point of this production, go with the current CTA or strongly consider the new CT method?
DON’t get a stress test or cath until you’ve had this, a calcium score, & a CIMT.
How long does it take to have a regular Angiogram through the Groin or wrist done? Once prepped, how long does that actual procedure take? Can you be put out for this, or heavily sedated?
Cost?
Why don’t doctors Recommend this before they do the stress test specially for someone that has had heart surgery
Thanks. That’s a good question.
@@PrevMedHealth do you have a good answer?
Great video! Typical that before it started YT has to put a potato chip advert on.
So if one gets a CTA done will it come with a report and findings, say like a MRI would?

I just had one last week. I did get a report and findings. Same as with an MRI.
Is it possible to have 0 blockage with a calcium score of 95??? I was told this after my angiogram, had a calcium scan done a year prior?
How much was cac
What if your taking Synthroid for low thyroid can you get an injection of iodine? Also do you need a script or can one schedule the test without a script? I know you can get a calcium score without a script. thank you.
You need a script.
CT are huge in radiation
Hundreds of X Rays
There's a limit Of how Many CTs are max recommended per lifetime
Would a CT angiogram extend into the carotid arteries? I have narrowing in the left carotid found on a carotid ultrasound.
No. But it’s not clear to me what that would provide for you.
@@PrevMedHealth Would I be able to get a calcium score and a more precise measurement of narrowing.
I had a ct calcium score come back zero last year I’m 45. Seems no point doing angiogram
I agree. But there is a good reason to get a Kraft Insulin Survey.
Instead of putting a picture of your heart on the fridge you should put it in your wallets.
The next most reliable test is invasive angiography... Ctca has good negative predictive value
