I just had a ct heart scan. The score was high 453 I believe. My cholesteral was 109 triclycerides were 96 ldl was 55 risk factor was 3.2 hdl was 38. My cpr was 1.0. I took the the ct san 7 months ago and just found out what the score was. I do not smoke, or drink, and do exercise daily for 15-30 minutes.
But am a little concerned about the ct numbers. I have been on zocar 20 mg for several months now.

Deborah, your article is very informative but some of your imbedded links are worthless. They take you to a general page that requires more searching to find out "How to calculate BMI". Should be sent directly to appropriate page.

I agree with these statements and assesments, I recently had severe chest pains
in November, and went to emergency room, had follow-up procedure with doctors
nothing conclusive found. Starting to notice the pains are returning
really bothers me when i lay on the left side along with the shortness
of breath and sweats, getting to the doctor this Monday
A MUST, CANT Just Say Its Nothing to Worry About!!!!
Make sure, Only have ONE HEART!!! Valorie B.
Thanks 4 the Valuable information

My doctor has me on Zocor 40 because I had slightly elevated cholesterol and am diabetic with blood sugar always below 150. I scored 0 on the CT Heart Scan. She said because I am diabetic I should keep my cholesterol below 200. My good cholestrol is always high. I don't like taking a statin.

I have read that Vitamin K2 (an "active" different than K), derived from a particular soy bean in Japan, helps to remove calcium from and prevent its formation in arteries.

I have read a many article on plaque in the artries, but i cant find one single article from a noted hospital that say oral celation works to clean out the plaque and there are hundreds of companies advertising it daily, Why?

STATUS OF THE HEART is definitely improved by the statins which are the state of the heart drug
besides medications the art of living style,mental makeup or makingup,cohabitation,exercising the mind to exercise the body ----all help to keep the disease out of the scene
