37Y đŸ‘±đŸŒâ€â™‚ïž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. That’s the beauty of cardiology đŸ™đŸ» (case was courtesy of our great cardio-imager Dra Roberta Nolasco)
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).
