I decided to find out where i stood heart-wise
since my DAD had 90% of his arteries clogged
at age 69 resulting in a 5-way by pass that failed
way back when.... late 70's.
So i just got my results back from my recent MRI
and it was ZERO ! no calcification at ALL.

I hit a Home run and that Baseball
just left earth's orbit lol

Theyapproved an MRI on you for the simple reason that you wanted to check??? No symptoms or anything just....a check?:scratch:

Are you sure you had an MRI for that? Typically the two tests that are used to detect arterial calcification are A; EDCT (electron beam computed tomography) or MDCT (multi-detector computed tomography). I had the EDCT done several years ago but only because I had other medical issues going on that replicated some symptoms of blockage. It's not typically done as a "pre-emptive strike" though as most insurance companies want a valid reason for the procedure to be done.

Way too much clean living good for you

i had to know how i compared to my father
as i was approaching his age... in a handful of years
but your right BO more of a CAT scan but the heart DOC
called it an MRI and the machine was a doughnut SHAPE deal
~
A computed tomography (CT) scan uses X-rays to make detailed pictures of structures inside of the body.
During the test, you will lie on a table that is attached to the CT scanner, which is a large doughnut-shaped machine.
The CT scanner sends X-ray pulses through the body.
thankfully i don't have my Father's clogged arteries
