Arizona Heart Hospital. It's about at SR 51 (Piestewa Peak Parkway) and Thomas on the west side.djui5 wrote:Where can you take this test?
How much did that cost? My guess is you'd have to really fight to get insurance to cover it, unless there was something that caused a doctor to question whether there was a problem?JamesLyding wrote:Arizona Heart Hospital.

Those alcoholics might have clean arteries, but I bet they are hard and still not very healthy to have. Plus, their livers are usually bad, and their heart muscles and nervous system may not be able to effectively handle the long term affects of a strenuous climb.imike wrote:Some of the cleanest arteries are oddly enough found in alcoholics....
Nick F needs to chime-in here, but red wine has a property that counters the inflammatory process that creates plaque on artery walls.imike wrote:Some of the cleanest arteries are oddly enough found in alcoholics... and a recent study showed a whopping 68% decline in fatal heart related events for wine drinkers in the study group. If you can keep the alcohol within the one glass per day range, avoiding the problems related to too much alcohol, it is an interesting consideration as a lifestyle change. Dark chocolate, in moderation, also seems to carry similar benefits. Podcasts available on Itunes: Fitness Rocks, details a number of these considerations.
But, it is a finite journey... it becomes an issue of time only. Best celebrated daily, somewhere out on a trail.
What, if anything, can be done to counter act the property of red wine that makes its regular drinkers have snotty nose?Jeff MacE wrote: Nick F needs to chime-in here, but red wine has a property that counters the inflammatory process that creates plaque on artery walls.

It's not a very reliable indicator if your fitness level fluctuates much.Jeff MacE wrote:The simplest way to monitor this is keep an eye on your resting pulse rate.
While it seems to make sense that if your arteries were restricted with calcium and plaque your heart rate would go up as your heart worked harder to get the blood/oxygen to the heart.... it does not work that way with me. I have coronary heart disease (a build up of calcium, cholesterol and plaque) and my heart rate is low. While working out is part of the reason a good portion is genetics. Also, I believe the CT scan test measures the amount of calcium in your arteries. Maybe one of the docs can jump in and clarify the relationship of cholesterol, calcium and plaque build up for us.big_load wrote:It's not a very reliable indicator if your fitness level fluctuates much.Jeff MacE wrote:The simplest way to monitor this is keep an eye on your resting pulse rate.
That, like everything else, depends. Either way it's cheap and effective.big_load wrote:It's not a very reliable indicator if your fitness level fluctuates much.Jeff MacE wrote:The simplest way to monitor this is keep an eye on your resting pulse rate.
