Speaking of energy bars, Brian Maxwell was a Cal alum and distance runner from Toronto who created PowerBar in the kitchen of his apartment in Berkeley with his then girlfriend, Jennifer who was majoring in food science.He was ranked #3 in the world as a 2:14:43 marathoner in 1977. He and his wife Jennifer sold PowerBar to Nestle in 2000 for $375 million.
Died at age 51 while waiting in line at the San Anselmo post office.
He would have been 65 next month.
You cant take it with you.

Most hospitals will do a calcium score ct scan for a nominal fee $50-100. It’s easy and painless and takes about 10 minutes. You will get a terrific quality exam because your heart rate is low (if fast they will often give you meds to slow it down to get better pictures). The scans are done at a much reduced price because if something is found it can lead to further testing. If over 40 years of age the test is more accurate as your calcium is more dense and picked up easier..

It's the equivalent of a full year's worth. As a result, the Calcium CT scan is not recommended for those in high or low risk groups.
It wont add any additional value to those two groups. It is mostly recommended for people in the moderate risk group.

However, it's important to note that doing a CT scan like this exposes you to an incredible amount of radiation.

Anyone needing further motivation to do this test should watch The Widowmaker here and also on Netflix:

A year's worth of radiation, in general, amounts to around 3 millisieverts.
The amount of radiation delivered during most CT calcium score tests is 2 - 3 millisieverts.
I'm not a radiologist, but from what I've read the key to the amount of radiation exposure revolves around what kind of CT scan technology is used.
The premier and fastest scanner for coronary calcium screening is the EBCT (electron beam computed tomography), also known as the "Ultra-Fast" CT scan.
It also gives off the least amount of radiation. I believe it is something like only 6/10th's of a millisievert. That is the equivalent of 1 abdominal x-ray. This is in stark contrast to the spiral CT scanner, like the 64 slice CT which gives off far more radiation.
Something to consider when exploring CAC.
