A member asked:

Can you have a heart attack without high cholesterol or high blood pressure? can you have buildup of plaque in the arteries without these two symptoms? is their a way to screen for heart attack before they happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

One still can get coronary artery plaque despite normal BP & lipid profile. We see this in youngish women,smokers,strong family history of heart attacks.males over 45. A coronary artery calcium score and maximal treadmill stress test screen for coronary artery disease.
