[QUOTE="UCFguy01, post: 183784, member: 40205"] Speaking of CVD, there is a test you can get that insurance doesn't pay for. It's called a Calcium test or CAC score test. It's a CT scan that takes 5 minutes and costs about $200. It will tell you about any blockages in your main arteries. If you get a score of 0(zero), it's basically a 15 year warranty that you won't have any major heart issues(unless you have something else like an electrical problem). I myself have cholesterol that is high. High LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. I was a little worried because I've pretty much always had high cholesterol since I first had it measured in my 20's. I'm 42 now. I came back with a zero score. My heart doctor said my heart and arteries are perfect. As someone said ealier, CVD is multi-factorial. My super high cholesterol in theory should be affecting my heart and arteries but it isn't. A guy I know in his 50's has had low cholesterol his whole life and has had 2 heart attacks. There's more to it than just cholesterol. [/QUOTE]
