What Your Coronary Artery Calcium Score Means
After graduating from a Caribbean medical school, finishing my internal medicine residency, and my cardiology fellowship I will be starting my day in the life as a non-invasive cardiologist shortly. Follow along for medical education content covering cholesterol management, echocardiography, invasive cardiology procedures, and much more.
In this video I review the basics of cholesterol management, atherosclerosis, and how it relates to coronary artery calcium scores. Coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) help cardiologists better risk stratify their patients. It can help doctors make more informed decisions with their patients on cholesterol lowering therapy like statin medications and evaluate a patient's risk of future ASCVD (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease), or their future risk of heart attack or stroke. I review the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, the basics of our ASCVD risk calculator, images of a few coronary artery calcium scores (CACS), explain in detail how that information can change our medical management, who does and does not benefit from this imaging study, and how much the test costs (typically ~$100 out of pocket.
