There does appear to be a CTA calcium score, contrary to Dr. Wolfs 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.
Bardacks 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.
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.
Tests, testing, scores, a lot of this stuff is as snake oil cures.
Why would a Dr. post this especially in this throat cutting political environment?
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.
Actually he says the opposite. Well, all those years watching MASH growing up, all for nothing!
Did the test show Illary’s lies expanding?
Dr. Milton Wolf, interestingly, is a distant cousin of Barack Obama who ran (unsuccessfully) for the Senate in 2014 as a Tea Party Republican.
He misunderstood Bardack’s statement. See post 4
Me too. Doubtful source - story to be disregarded as a typical Clinton tactical move.
Where were these test done, Chelsea’s medical center apartment?
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.

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.
