37Y
sedentary and hx of sudden death (brother died w/ 42Y). Came for checkup. EKG normal, Echo normal, TT(max) normal. Assistant cardiology ordered a #yesCCT. Patient went from 1% risk to a very high risk profile

1.5 years later after lifestyle modification (physical activity), diet, rosuvastatin 10mg/day. Thatâs the beauty of cardiology

A provocative question for #cardiotwitter - Would you have ordered this CTA scan for this patient?
37 - Routine checkup - all other tests were normal - asymptomatic patient w/ hx of sudden death (brother).
