Hi Howe:
I had Calcium Screening in September. It was really easy (don't even have to undress) and the results came back very quickly. It was very positive for me, as I have an alarmingly high CRP (C-Reactive Protein, the new, hot risk factor) level. You want to get a score of ZERO, no calcium. The calcium is found in the blockages in the coronary arteries. No calcium, no blockages. It was not covered by insurance, but I decided to have the test as the results would have an effect on my treatment options.
Good luck-
E
