They knew they had not been doing all the things they should do, and they were worried that heart disease had them in its sights. Risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, and inactivity are important because the longer you are exposed to them, the higher the odds you will develop coronary artery disease sooner in life.

Even those who are pulled forward in their diagnosis of type 2 diabetes still get a significant reduction in the risk of heart disease. The most accurate way (But not the only way) to answer this question is whether or not you have plaque in your coronary arteries. But WAY less often than you think.

A CTCA provides much more anatomical detail and can identify advanced plaque often missed by CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score scans alone. CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score Scan CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score CT Coronary Angiogram As you can see from the above images, the CTCA provides far more anatomical detail.

Reversing or regressing coronary artery disease is possible. You cannot eliminate the plaque entirely, but multiple clinical trials have shown plaque regression using high-intensity cholesterol-lowering treatments, which I have discussed previously.
