I have been scheduled for an MIBI scan and I wanted to know what it entailed. I would like to thank Dr. Zimmerman for taking the time to explain what will be happening. He speaks very clearly and slow enough that I could understand him. He is the perfect choice for this type of video. Thank you Dr. Zimmerman.🙂
As far as cardiac calcium scoring… I think it is a perfect objective measurement for vascular aging. I’d use it routinely for aging management. Without any symptoms, it will be impossible to get approved for cardiac CT scan..
Can someone please tell me if plaque within the coronary arteries can be viewed with a cardiac MRI? I am scheduled for a CTA but due to issues with my bone marrow, I would like to avoid the radiation. I also had an enlarged lymph node in my chest which needs re-assessed. I would think either test could do that.

So for the cardiac calcium scoring… pt has to pay cash if their insurance declines to cover it I guess…
I am coming in for a cardiac diagnosis so what do I expect
I have enlarged heart, high blood pressure and low bottom numbers
