Yes, I’ve had two also. I’m a firm believer in these. One in 2006 and again this spring. $99 each time. Around 20 of us at work took the Heartsaver CT scan in 2006. The person with the worst score did have a heart attack later. In 2006 I had 5 calcium spots with 2 being more than minor. This spring those 2 being more than minor became much worse. So it is tractable.
What thoroughly convinced me my VA cardiologist was a POS was because he was uninterested in the results. I entered my results through the VA messaging system as “for the record” to several individuals...
As a side note. The “hammer” 50,000 iu of Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) (prescribed to many vets from what I’ve seen) has a very good possibility of giving one Hypercalcemia.
I was pretty livid about getting Hypercalcemia and reading about how rat poison works. The mechanism is calcium is leached out of your bones and enters your blood stream. Whole bone pain was the symptom.
I think anyone over 50 should get a heart scan. They offered a $49 special here I’m glad I did it, 0 calcium for me.
