In my case, I asked about it, but was told not to bother. I almost certainly have calcification, and they are treating me that way. This was 4 years ago. Since then, I have had 4 stents put in. You need to look at the risk factors. In my case, I am high risk for heart disease: Cholesterol (280 total, 19 HDL; high triglycerides; max doses of Lipitor, Zetia and Tricore); Diabetes; Family history (it is all genetic). I expected the heart problems, and they happened.

My husband and I did for an executive health screening. No regrets as we know our baseline --had some relatives with heart issues so happy to see our hearts were healthy. Might be overboard if you are in good health and young with no family history.

Have any of you done it? Thoughts on doing it? Is it a good idea?
