Dr. Milton Wolf: Hillary’s Doctor Claimed Hillary Got a Perfect Score on TEST THAT DOES NOT EXIST

Dr. Wolf concluded: There’s no need for wild speculation or sensationalization. Hillary’s health problems are (1) knowable and (2) highly significant. This is my wheel house.

And tonight Dr. Milton Wolf responded to Hillary Clinton’s doctor’s report.

“Hillary’s doctor just claimed Hillary had a perfect score on a test that doesn’t exist.”

A "CTA" is a CT (or cat scan) angiogram. It always requires contrast. Always. It cannot be included in a "non-contrast CT scan." /2

In fact, there is no such thing as a "CTA calcium score" study. A CT calcium score study (of the coronary arteries) MUST be non-contrast. /3

If you gave contrast, then the coronary calcifications would be masked by the contrast in the arteries. This is Radiology 101, folks. /4

So Hillary's doctor —who says #HillarysHealth is "excellent"— just claimed Hillary had an imaging study that doesn't exist. Oops. /5

There does appear to be a ‘CTA calcium score’, contrary to Dr. Wolf’s claim. I base that on the title of this article from The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging

Variation in atherosclerotic plaque composition according to increasing coronary artery calcium scores on computed tomography angiography.

Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA)

What is a CTA?

CT angiography is a type of medical exam that combines a CT scan with an injection of a contrast media to produce pictures of blood vessels and tissues in a part of your body.

Depends. If the report was filtered through an American journalist, it could say anything. American journalists are at their worst and most ignorant when they try to report on medical or religious issues.

[Ray76]

Bardack’s use of “including” rather than “and” seems to have been misinterpreted by Wolf. She probably meant that a non-contrast CT and a contrast CTA was performed.

Hillary is the total contagious infection package. Everybody who comes in contact with her suffers. And she wants to make the entire world suffer. Tell your relatives, friends and neighbors to get out and vote for Trump.

There are some 'Never Trump' dummies who think the USofA will survive Clinton. They are fools.

He doesn't say it doesn't exist, he says it cannot be "non-contrast". There is always contrast used for such tests. Or so he says, I have no idea.

[mainestategop]

A lot of tests by doctors and big Pharma are manufactured. Its just a scam to waste your money!

Tests, testing, scores, a lot of this stuff is as snake oil cures.

[Uversabound]

I think this is a set up by the demorats!

Why would a Dr. post this especially in this throat cutting political environment?

[Former Proud Canadian]

"American journalists are at their worst and most ignorant when they try to report on medical or religious issues."

Are you sure about that? They don't seem to know a lot about politics or economics either. In fact, once they get past disseminating propaganda, there is not much knowledge of anything.

In Marketing, a CTA is a call to action.

In the HRC marketing campaign, the CTA is to not think critically about her obvious health issues that could affect her already limited ability to serve as POTUS. In short, the CTA is to mindlessly vote libtard in hopes of getting more free crap.

He doesn't say it doesn't exist, he says it cannot be "non-contrast". There is always contrast used for such tests. Or so he says, I have no idea.

Actually he says the opposite. Well, all those years watching MASH growing up, all for nothing!

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Did the test show Illary’s lies expanding?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Dr. Milton Wolf, interestingly, is a distant cousin of Barack Obama who ran (unsuccessfully) for the Senate in 2014 as a Tea Party Republican.

[Ray76]

He misunderstood Bardack’s statement. See post 4

I think this is a set up by the demorats!

Me too. Doubtful source - story to be disregarded as a typical Clinton tactical move.

Where were these test done, Chelsea’s medical center apartment?

True. You can add science, the military, weapons, history, and pretty much everything. But they sure do like to act superior, don't they?

[Truth29]

New a reliable FReeper medical professional to weigh in. There are CT scans with and without contrast, with variations under specific circumstances. I wouldn’t rely upon this report without another medical review, and, even then, we are interpreting a statement and not the medical reports themselves.

Coronary calcium scoring
In this test, which does not use X-ray contrast, pictures are taken of the heart to look for the presence of calcium deposits in the blood vessels of the heart or coronary arteries. Calcium deposits are a very specific sign of coronary artery disease, as is cholesterol and scar tissue buildup in the arteries. While the amount of calcium in the arteries increases with age, patients who have significantly elevated amounts of calcium deposits are at increased risk to have heart attacks or heart complications. This is true for patients of all age groups, for both men and women, and across ethnic groups. In patients who have a strong family history of premature heart disease or in patients at intermediate risk of heart disease based on their age and risk factors, calcium scoring can help better assess their risk of heart disease and can help tailor medical therapy.

Of course, the good doctor is assuming that the "journalist" reported the testing correctly. That's a huge assumption.

But, for a Clinton crony to tell the truth? That's a huge assumption as well. Add that to typically incompetent or completely in the tank for Hillary! journalists, and it's amazing that anything was reported at all.
