If you want a CAC tell Docs about your chest pain as President Bush did.

Docs are obligated to be certain chest pain is not cardiac.
If Doc says it is not, you reply you looked it up on internet and it sounds cardiac, like angina.

No stent for President Bush if he went to Topeka

• If in 2006 President Bush's doctors did take him off statin when they knew he had a positive CAC of 4 (which I believe elevates him from low CV risk to Intermediate CV risk), how do they know when to put him back on a statin and to what goal? The answer is obvious, they use stress testing. Apparently the stress test last year was normal so his Doctors missed the opportunity to get President Bush back on statins. A follow-up CAC without contrast might have been enough. CAC only costs $100 while a Angio CAC is much more expensive and more radiation.

Cardiologist would rather do a more expensive procedure than a CAC or CIMT?
