The Struggle to Get a Calcium Score
Dr. James Esselstyn: A patient's cholesterol was 242 LDL 154, despite good fitness and a plant-based diet. He says she also had some calcified segments in her arteries that could not be seen on the calcium score. She will get an intensive program of treatment to shrink these areas with clearly artificial intelligence software; he says it can tell how much plaque has been shrunk. "This is how you manage heart disease with an aggressive precision cardiology, precision medicine approach," Dr. EsselStyn says.
