A decrease in events of folks with a score between 400-1000..... less frequent events than people with low cac scores?........ I think I'm misunderstanding something.
Yes but we need to know how many people had a decrease in calcium score and by what percent in what length of time. These are the factors we need. Thankyou fellows for doing this video.😉✌
My CAC score increased 85% in two years when I was taking a statin (from 107 to 193). The next two more years I stopped the statin and took instead K2, D3, magnesium, aged garlic. My score decreased 18% to 164. Just saying. (Also I was limping around everywhere while on the statin. That went away after stopping them. I don't hesitate to get all the vaccines, including the Covid vaccine. But the statin - No thank you.)
Check out "the fat emperor", Ivor Cummings...his channel is on the leading edge of CAC, heart disease, diet and exercise. Dr Berg, Dr Berry, Dr Fung, are also great resources for the Keto diet (has to be a permanent change with NO cheating. I am in the same situation as your father as my CAC score went from 460 to 760 in just one year...I have a 17% chance of a heart attack within the next 10 years, which is about 5x the risk of the average 54 year old male. I've lost 47 pounds since Jan (30 to go), and am on a strict Keto diet...forever. It's actually very tastey but can't have carbs, including my fav...craft beer (each beer sets me back about four days). I live in Portland OR, and am going to see Dr. Ted Naiman, MD, in the Seattle area who has helped a lot of folks in me and your fathers situation. I wish you and your father the best...by the way, I'm NOT taking Statins because I think they make the situation worse and not better.
@@tickothing1 Did you get your coronary calcium score through a CT scan? I'm scared of the radiation from the CT scan. Can a coronary calcium score be obtained via a cardiac MRI? Or only through a CAT scan?
@@M00159 would not worry about the amount of radiation from a scan if done just once per hear. Airline pilots get far more dose just doing their job. As do farmers (radon). Get the test and if its bad, or good, go Keto w/intermittent fasting...my wife and I have done so and every aspect of life is better (no more high A1c, off blood pressure meds, lost 50 pounds without really trying), mental health better too...but "no cheato on keto"
