And in one of those coincidences that seem to happen often, an email from Ivor Cummings this morning announced a one hour TV version of The Widowmaker film. Top quality, Free on YouTube.

There is an Irish businessman who has a high score and makes lifestyle changes, and interviews with the well-known cardiologists who would treat with statins, Steve Nissan at Cleveland Clinic, etc. The longer version was a fair evaluation of treatments; thesis was more why cholesterol is not a good marker of disease and the CAC is.

Just been sent a link to the 1-hour TV Version of The Widowmaker - see the fascinating history of Calcium Scanning. The most powerful diagnostic for heart disease presence (and severity). It is also proving to be the most accurate predictor of all-cause mortality risk. It is also a superbly entertaining hour of high-quality filmmaking (top ratings in Rotten Tomatoes and Ebert & Ebert etc.) Link below - forward to family and friends - it may very well save their lives:


February is "Heart Month" in the US. A Diagnostic Lab near you may offer a special price this month. Call around, even with the special pricing, there was a wide range of cost. Earlier in this thread members around the country compared costs.
