got a ct calium score in oct of 2006 of 407. scared me into life style changes. went vegan except for fish once or twice a week (fishy vegan ;-). dropped from 182lb to 165lb (23.7 bmi) and lowered cholesterol from 220 to 150 with statin in first four months. kept consistant with diet, exercise, and meds for following year
just got the results from the follow on scan on feb 16th, 2008. 674. certainly changes one's planning horizon. as i understand the progression, i have roughly 3 years (plus or minus 2) until cardiac event (heart attack or sudden death)
any of you good doctors out there that might help me better understand my chances and possible alternatives?
think i'll loosen up on the purse strings a bit...
thanks in advance
