No Statins for me!

I’ve been here, to South Denver Cardiology, so many times with Kristan… and I’ve walked past this building so many times on my dog walks around South Park… but it’s the first time I’m here for myself. I got a precautionary scan for calcium in my arteries and heart, because the simple ASCVD analysis, that they do with my annual physical, again recommended I start on statins, and who wants that? 

I liked the nice clean lab layout

The overseers (lab techs) in their separate control room

The body of the scanner. It was so tall, and I was so close, that I had to take two pictures and merge them together. The StitchPics app didn’t do a very good job.

The core of the scanner, where they slide me in. It was nice, that there was no noise associated with this non-magnetic scanner. And also no need to disrobe, to avoid getting burned by any metal in my pockets, on my wrist, or my glasses. 

Instructions for interpreting the result

My results - zero plaque present - woo hoo! Thanks mom and dad, for the good genes, that appear to allow me to process cholesterol efficiently. No statins for me… I hope…
