Where does preventive diagnostics for heart stop? My Echo test says mild LVH, Stress tests are normal, blood markers are *very* mildly elevated. My BP varies between 125/80 to 150/90, primarly because of stress.
Cholestorol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, liop-proteins etc. are mildly out of place. BMI is 28, and am a smoker (unfortunately), and a regular runner (fortunately). I also do a lot of outdoor activities like mountain climbing, and am constantly worried that on one of these climbs, I may get a call from my Heart.
The calcium score came in today at (01.1). I had asked my doctor that what test could I do, except angiography to ascertain that my chest pain is non-cardiac.
As I understand, plaque is hard and soft. My calcium score indicates low hard plaques, and slightly out of line blood work (triglycerides, cholestorol, apolipo-proteins etc) indicate low soft plaque.
Low hard and Low soft plaque == Low CAD, right?
Request insights! Thanks
