🛑 Please stop the madness. A calcium score in pretty much anyone under the age of 50 is useless! Calcium takes TIME to form in the arteries. Time= age. I have seen so many young patients with calcium scores of zero with significant coronary diseases because the disease is still lipid-rich and has not calcified. Then, what happens inevitably, is those young people stop taking their cholesterol medications because their “heart is fine” and then they end up having awful coronary disease when they are older! So- moral of the story- the older someone is, the more reliable their calcium score is. Under 50 is a total no-go for me for calcium scores! #themoreyouknow #calciumscoring #calciumscores #queenofhearts #cardiology #preventivemedicine #preventivemedicine #cardiologist #topdoc #medicine #coronarydisease #privatepractice #hearthealth #stopthemadness #heartattack
