Calcium Arterial Score:<\/p>\n

2013=98<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump\u2019s transparent release of data from his recent health assessment reveals progressive calcification of coronary arteries<\/a> that elevate the risk for a heart attack.<\/p>\n

Even though this is common for someone of his gender and age (only 46% of other males have a lower score than the President), it is of concern since many males in his age group are able to maintain far lower calcification scores in their coronary arteries.<\/p>\n

Cardiologist Melissa Walton-Shirley of Gallatin, Tennessee, speaking out at MedScape in 2014 says calcium arterial scoring is superior to an exercise stress test and 100% accurate for coronary artery disease<\/a> (CAC).\u00a0 A moderate increase in CAC (100-399) like President Trump exhibits is associated with an 80% greater likelihood of dying compared to males with a zero calcium score.<\/p>\n

A zero CAC score is said to confer a \u201c15-year warranty against coronary artery disease<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 Only about 2-3% of men age 70+ have zero calcium arterial scores<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All risk assessments for a coronary artery disease are relative.\u00a0 Even though a 1-10 CAC score is quite good, it still presents a 3-fold increased risk for future cardiovascular events (strokes and heart attacks<\/a>) compared to a score of zero.<\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s LDL cholesterol level was 143, above the desired 100 level.\u00a0 President Trump is taking a 10-milligram statin drug<\/a> to lower his cholesterol, according to a report in the New York Times.<\/p>\n

Information provided by the University of Maryland Medical Center says: \u201ccardiac calcium scoring is a better predictor of coronary events than cholesterol screening or other risk…<\/div>\n
