Hope! Things can get better, even with age. Even with a history of "bad" diagnoses.

HOPE!

Kidneys drive the heart.

I only have one kidney so I have heart disease right there.

I have shared with you the calcium score test, which is a short CT scan of the coronary arteries. It is a great test as you can “look inside” the critical blood vessels of your heart and see if there is plaque. Or not.

Rather than the “guessing” of lipid levels (lipoproteins) and blood work.

Five years ago I had a score of 17 which is low.

Yet, I have a very high genetic marker for stroke, lipoprotein (a).

So am always doing prophylactic stuff.

Question is: "Is all of this “stuff” working?
