A member asked:
After 2 years just had another ct cardiac calcium scoring test (at 68 years of age) and "impression: 1. coronary artery calcium score of 0 agatston. 2. the heart is normal in size." why is my coronary artery calcium score test result all the time 0?

You are lucky than most men at your age with a calcium score of 0. However, I wonder why this test was repeated after 2 years if you had a perfect score 2 years ago. Take care.
