A member asked:
What do you think of the track your plaque website? and the protocols they suggest? can calcification on ebct regress with diet, exercise and drugs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Caution!: I am concerned about any website and procedures that generate money and information without attention to the context of the patient. Many tests are being done that patients do not need and that trigger other tests or at least worry. Checking for coronary artery calcium has a place but it is not appropriate for general screening! good diets, exercise, healthy living can help prevent heart disease!
