[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 237570, member: 15235"] I agree with colonoscopies and they illustrate the problem with CAC scores in that colonoscopies are immediately actionable, while CAC scores for people who are already doing most heart-healthy things ( as in truly heart-healthy, not what mainstream heath authorities call heart-healthy) are rarely actionable. They are a late-stage indicator and it is hard to tell the impact of an intervention under realistic conditions. Dr Davis was apparently able to do so and showed that Vitamin D supps were a very positive factor, but that is an exception. The action from almost any CAC score is to do everything you can to preserve your CV functioning, no matter he score. [/QUOTE]
