My good friend just died from a heart attack at 60. 90% blockage in 2 arteries, even though he exercised regularly and appeared perfectly healthy. This triggered my exploration of my own risk and I came to the realization that although my lipid panels were ok, I could also have a 90% blockage and be completely unaware. I ended up getting a Calcium CT scan which showed no blockages, but I realized that without my friends death, I’d have no idea of my score. In the US, insurance doesn’t cover the screening. I’m now a believer of all people having a scan at 50, and likely every 5 or 10 years afterwards.
