HoppeFaith,Interestingly enough, on yesterdays' AARP Daily Bulletin, your Heart Calcium Scan was listed as not being a recommended test. The scans expose patients to too much radiation and have not been proven to save lives.http://blog.aarp.org/2012/03/14/5-heart-tests-you-dont-need-4-you-do/?cmp=NLC-RSS-DAILY-BULLETIN<http://blog.aarp.org/2012/03/14/5-heart-tests-you-dont-need-4-you-do/?cmp=NLC-RSS-DAILY-BULLETIN>Quite honestly, as patients, we often worry too much, BUT we also need to weigh the side-effects of such tests. Having too many X-rays worry the lights out of me. Unfortunately, we cannot avoid them altogether.C'est la vie!
