I'm not following this thread, but I read this reply from both of you. There are many diagnostic tests available to assess the level of plaque, cholesterol in your arteries. Just remember, the plaque in your arteries causes the heart attack, not the plaque inside your heart, no pun intended. There are a variety of medicines available to treat before bypass surgery is required. Best to avoid naturally occurring cholesterol in the mean time, eggs, etc. Cholesterol yes, simple blood panel will show that and if high they will throw you on a statin. I know of no CT scan or other that will show plaque in the arteries. Calcium yes (CAC and Lung scan) will show calcified plaque but not soft plaque which is the dangerous plaque. I looked it up there's two tests. Oñe is with the dye the other is a MRI. They don't use the dye much anymore since MRIs have gotten so good. Is what it said. My wife's tests were 14 pages long.
