Focus on noncardiac : Your workup sounds extensive for assessing cardiac causes for chest pain. Negative results suh as you describe would imply that your symptoms are due to a noncardiac cause. In patients with negative cardiac work ups for cp, about 1/3 rd of the time symptoms are due to GI causes, 1/3 rd due to musculoskeletal/pleural causes, and 1/3rd due to anxiety or neuropsychiatric causes.

Would a Contrast-enhanced CT pulmonary angiogram also show lesions, abnormalities, masses, nodes, etc. of the lung or does it only show the blood vessels? (Basically, does it provide more or less information than regular Chest CT?)

I don't understand why do a CT angiogram if you can see soft plaque? My score was 0 two years ago but I am wondering why do it if you can't see soft ?
