On this visit, he expressed worsening exercise tolerance, new orthopnea, and he told his provider that the omeprazole did not relieve any symptoms. The scan did not find PE, but showed evidence of coronary plaque: There are areas of dense white in the LAD (red and blue circles) and in the first diagonal (green circle).

While much attention is given to modifiable risk factors such as diet, exercise, and smoking, the role of genetics in heart disease is equally critical yet less understood by the general public. Specific genetic variants, such as those affecting cholesterol metabolism, can increase the likelihood of plaque buildup in the arteries.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) CAD, which involves the narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries due to plaque buildup, can reduce blood flow to the heart. Echocardiogram An echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce a detailed image of the heart, allowing doctors to see the size of the heart chambers and how well the heart is pumping blood.

The problem with both these tests are that they study the heart at rest and sometimes abnormalities may be picked up only when the heart is stressed and therefore combining these modalities with a stress test can be even more helpful and by far the best form of stress is exercise. The plaques can damage us in 2 ways.
