CALCIUM SCORE
CALCIUM SCORE ~ DELAYS IN ACCEPTANCE
1.
Over promised with financial profiteering ~ Skepticism in scientific community ~ resentment
2.
Use by researchers and clinicians required resources / change ~ Clinical scores didn’t require testing
3.
Radiation, incidental findings, etc
CALCIUM SCORE ~ A 2ND CHANCE? The 2018 ACC/AHA guidelines represent an opportunity
~ Use by researchers and clinicians is shifting ~ Radiation, incidental findings, etc not validated as problems ~ Inclusion in guidelines, perhaps a needed reset in thinking?

MY PRINCIPLES FOR PREVENTIVE CARE
Customized care that reflect patient's need, values & choices ~ constructive follow-up. Screening for risks. Serial follow up testing for motivation! Medications and treatments after diet and lifestyle and patient selected interventions. Seek answers ~ evidence based approach to best medicine, diet and lifestyle
