Two Simple Tests That Can Detect Early Signs Of Clogged Heart Arteries

Coronary heart disease and Stroke are one of the most common causes of death and serious illness in the world today. The good news is that doctors are getting so much better at detecting the underlying disease process, called atherosclerosis, so much more reliably.
Two tests in particular, carotid ultrasound, and CT Coronary Angiography was now able to identify atherosclerosis in your body long before it creates serious problems such as heart attack or stroke.
These tests are so valuable in patients with symptoms of heart disease (chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness and palpitations), and also serve as wonderful screening tools in patients with a family history of heart disease or stroke, or in those with risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and more.

In this video, top cardiologist Professor Henein explains everything you wish to know about Carotid Ultrasound and CT Coronary Angiography.

My heart breathing breathlessness difficulties seem to have started after having a life changing Pfizer Booster Vaccination Jab in my opinion.
I was initially diagnosed with irregular heart beat, then afib and recently Congestive Heart Failure.
I had a echocardiogram which the Cardiologist said it was too difficult to see clearly.
Now I have just recently had a MRI scan and awaiting results.
So it really has me confused what my condition is.

What a simple technique to look at the blood vessel walls.

Had a stress test (Bruce protocol) this past April due to risk factors (age (65), moderate kidney disease, stress, etc.) and although I went 10.5 minutes on the treadmill, a 2mm ST depression showed up under stress...which resolved at rest. I was immediately told that I need to see a cardiologist, and when I did, she sent me straight to the cath lab for an angiogram and possible stent. I was scared to death, especially of the possibility of contrast induced kidney injury because my kidneys are only at half function. I then had an echocardiogram which turned out normal. So I decided to go for a second opinion. Fast forward several months, and a different cardiologist said he'd like to do the next least invasive test....a stress echo. On the treadmill, I went a minute longer than the first stress test and the report came back totally normal. The second cardiologist said I'm fine, there's no reason to investigate further, go out and celebrate. It's amazing how two cardiologists can have two completely different takes on an issue. What are we patients supposed to do? From all the reading I've done, it seems to me that the first cardiologist should have taken into account how I actually performed on the treadmill before sending me off to the cath lab. What were my original symptoms? Being winded after only a few minutes of jogging.

In my case, a 64-Slice CT angiogram in July 2010 revealed extensive heart disease with a high CAC (Coronary Artery Calcification) score of 479. You could probably say I had the arteries of an 80-year-old man. Then I had a carotid ultrasound 6 months later that showed very healthy carotid arteries. I was told my cardiovascular age based on this test was 48, much lower than my actual age at the time, which was 61. In other words, there was no correlation between my Carotid Ultrasound and my CT Coronary Angiography.

Are calcifications elsewhere in the body linked to heart problems/artery issues?

[macoediv]

my score went up to 1043.3 from 909 in one year. my left main went from 278 to 0, left anterior 405 to 704, left circumflex 100 to 133.9, right coronary 132 to 204. I am a 55 year old carnivore for two years now. Have you seen a calcification clear up like that?

I was injected with dye and scanned after a high calcium score after a CT scan. It showed 60 percent blockage in one artery and 40 percent in another. I then underwent a cardio catheter. I fully expected the doctor to come in and tell me that I needed an angioplasty or bypass surgery. Instead, he told me that my arteries looked fine. “I’m not sure what we were seeing on those scans”, he said, maybe I had buildup on the outside of the artificial walls. But the inside looked great. I find this extremely confusing.
