"Well, a spike in BP can certainly be associated with an Aortic dissection."

Been there, done that in 2013. 16 hour surgery after mine ruptured so I wish the gentleman well.

My dad didn’t make it in 1997 even though just 1 mile from hospital.

I’m 73. A chest X-RAY last summer showed a calcified aorta, so I started taking vitamin K2 and D3.

I had the CAC scan last week. The widowmaker artery has 6% calcium, the other three are 0%.

I gave them the CD of my X-RAY, and asked if they could correlate that with the CAC scan, to see if it had improved, but it was not in the report.
