"The total Agatston calcium score is 3, 33rd percentile. Left main: 0, left anterior descending: 3, left circumflex: 0, right coronary artery: 0."
So, I scored a 3 in my left anterior descending artery. That means on the 0 to 500 scale, I scored a 3 for calcium and fat buildup in that artery. Minuscule. My other coronary arteries scored zeroes... no build-up. Clean as a whistle.
I obviously don't have genetically-influenced coronary artery disease. I knew it didn't run in either of my parents' families. But, I wanted to know. For a hundred bucks, it was cheap piece of mind that the "Big One" isn't going to strike me dead while eating like a pig at some barbecue place in Austin, Texas.

That's a fantastic deal. Glad your results came back as mostly A+s with one very high A!
Dear Mr. Kxxxxxxxxx,
Hope you are doing well.
I received the results of your coronary calcium score today. You have a very minimal amount of coronary calcium which is good news. You have less than average coronary calcium which is very good. I do not see any cause for alarm at this time.
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Sincerely,
