2 Things a Cardiac Examination Needs to be Complete

In this video I will explain today many patients are getting an incomplete cardiac examination. A coronary calcium score, also known as a heart scan, is vitally important together with a metabolic syndrome workup in the evaluation of cardiovascular disease. The traditional workup of a stress test, echocardiogram, and routine lipid blood tests is inadequate cardiac examination on its own. Knowing whether you have coronary calcium and risk factors allows potent lifestyle changes and dietary interventions to be made.

I am a Nurse Practitioner. Love the lessons by Dr. Jamnadas. However, Insurance will not approve these tests unless ordered by a cardiologist. Pretty crazy if you ask me. They are so important. So much of what we do is dictated by insurance.

[@bjmorgan3092]

My primary care has the booklets for the scan in her office. I did do the scan which is not covered by insurance so I paid $99. I found out my score is 225. I went to a cardiologist who order a stress test and echocardiagram that insurance paid for since the scan showed build up.

[@captainadams7569]

Sometimes they won’t approve it by a Cardiologist.

[@tanitshkatanjusha]

Of course not.the system is designed to keep you a client.and keep bringing money. ..we need to take responsibility ourselves and listen to docs like this who are not following big pharma guidelines

[@kandis5576]

It is crazy how insurance companies will cover the disease but not the prevention. My husband's PSA test levels continued to show increases. His dad and brother both had prostrate cancer so although he was under seventy we had concerns. Our insurance company would cover PSA tests more than every two years, so we paid for them. I did call the insurance company and suggested they look at the things they waste money on. I told them cancer is much more expensive than preventative testing. Sure enough, he got prostrate cancer, so it was good that we paid for the tests ourselves and caught it while it was still contained in the prostrate..

I had an MI in Dec of 2019, my cardiologist didn't do a calcium score or a metabolic workup and didn't even care that I was prediabetic. I studied on my own and decided to start Keto, lost 27 lbs, got my A1c down to 4.7, started supplements to reduce coronary calcium (D3, K2, and others) and exercise daily (walking for 40 mins). I recently asked for a Insulin Resistance test and it showed that I was at 12 (33 is prediabetic). I now requested a CAC test (my cardiologist wasn't even sure what it was) and will go in tomorrow for it. I wish Dr Jamnadas was here in Phoenix. Thank you for all you do and share with us.

[@captainadams7569]

GOOD for you. You are on the right track. I had a right heart CAth that showed 50% mid and 70% distal with bridging from mid to distal

[@captainadams7569]

To distal in the lad, yet my cardiologist never told me. He said I was fine except my injection fraction was lower then he expected. It was 55 to 60% (which is considered normal.) The only reason I knew about the blockages is b/c I went to the hospital and requested my test results. I advise everyone to get a copy of your labs and test. These Drs want you to be on drugs so they can get their commission.

[@Rocadamis]

@@captainadams7569 Since I first wrote this over a year ago, I have increased my walk to an hour and half (5.5 miles). My weight holds steady at 175 lbs, which I consider the perfect weight for my height (6ft). I previously suffered from Ulcerative Colitis for years and the symptoms for this have completely disappeared for the past 2 years (since starting keto). I do regular intermittent fasting, and HIIT training when I walk/jog. I am no longer taking the plant sterols or the K2+D3 as my diet gives my body what it needs. My BP is perfect and my ketones are solidly in the optimal range. Keto is the way to crack the code on good health.

Excellent video. I'm 61 yrs. Old. A runner. I've run almost 10k miles. I've never had health issues in my life. After some DNA finding I decided to get a calcium scan. My score lead me to a cardiac ct which found I have heart decease with 35% blockage in the LAD. I would have never known. My calcium scan cost 100 dollars and 10 min of my time. Everyone should have the scan done.

[@Shalommaranatha7]

All my mother had was sharp pain in her left arm pit that kept getting progressively worse which was ignored and passed off at a local ER, it wasn’t until my father, threatened everyone with a lawsuit that three hours later they took her seriously, it turned out she had 5 blockages that were 90 & 95% blocked. They immediately prepped her for surgery. After surgery due to her having gone 3 hours without treatment they gave her 5 years at the most & she passed 5 years to the day November 12th, 1986. She was also type 1 diabetic since she was 16. There’s not a day goes by that she is not missed. She was 50 years old when she passed. 😢

I learned more in this video than I have learned from my cardiologist and surgeon(CABG) in the months leading up to my surgery and the year since my surgery. They told me after the surgery (95% blockage on the widow maker) that I still had a 75% blockage on my right artery. The surgeon told me not to delay having a stent put in, but my cardiologist said he won't put one in until there is 80% blockage and he would check me again 12 months after my CABG! I have had mild chest pain on and off since the surgery and have been to ER a couple of times. If they did the calcium and metabolic tests I am not aware of it. I think I am going to look for another cardio doc.

Once I inherited that wonderful gene from him I have been aggressively attacking the condition. This was my 2nd CaC test with zero on both now 4 years apart. I share this with everyone I know……

[@josephklimchock5412]

Great info and Dr. J is so right. My older surfer brother, not a ounce of fat on him, was getting chest pains while surfing what would be his very last time. A week later, he went to get stress test and had double carotid artery stroke during the test that almost killed him. They did not give him ANY clot busting meds in fear of the clots going to brain and killing him. 3 months later had scan of the carotid arteries at a vascular surgeon office, and by some divine intervention, they saw NO blockage in the carotids. 6 months later when he was better recovered from the double stroke, he went in again for the heart scan and the next day he had quadruple bypass, having 2 arteries 90% blocked, the others 75% blocked. I am still amazed at how he had all this happen and how he recovered. Sad thing is that he avoided doctors and did not take any BP meds as he knew we had very high BP genetically. Me and my other bro had been taking small BP meds last 10 years. Anyway, somethings defy logic but watching Dr Jamnadas is amazing and his instant recall of what he knows is also very wonderful, truly a very, very smart man, I am lucky that he is near me and I probably will go see him soon to get a thorough check out. He is the only doc I have seen to list his prices on his website for procedures and also lab work. I have lab blood work to get done and was not able to get actual cost to me from the lab, even with my insurance!!! What a scam they run! I think it said on his website that they got so tired of dealing with all the different insurance payment amounts, they mainly do only cash pay labs and for a full CBC, the cost listed was 33 bucks!!!!! Thank You, thank You Dr. Jamnadas!!!!!!!!!! Happy New Year!!!

So happy to find your videos, thank you for your compassion caring spirit . Physicians are taught to diagnose and treat patients, not so much to teach folks how to remain or be healthy. I’m a believer that we should be advocates in our own health. We get a manual with a vehicle telling us how it runs and how to maintain to last . We should know how our bodies work and how to maintain good health. We need more physicians like you. I have always kept copies of my yearly labs and compare them from year to year, it’s my manual, usually the nurse calls says we got your results doc said it’s normal. What I see is my lipids increasing, so before I get a call I need statins, I watch my diet keeping in check. I’m having medical issues now testing next week.

I guess it's fate, or just good timing, that I found your channel this week doc. I went to my cardiologist last week for a yearly checkup. I asked for a coronary artery calcium score, and he said I didn't need it. Just basically dismissed me like I was an idiot. And in the same visit, he says he knows I have calcium, because the ct scan shows it, and everyone my age has some plaque. So I leave with a prescription for low dose statin and low dose aspirin, and no CAC score. This is why people like me have a hard time trusting the medical establishment. I guess I just need to move to Florida!

[@harsharao3555]

ZERO (0) calcium score does not mean no blockages!, you can still have soft plaque which could be shown on CT coronary angiography. Other than that this is a good informational video.

Thank you for that information

[@walterski8377]

Exactly stunning he doesn't address this!!

Great info. 59yrs old hit the weights 4 days a week for the last 28yrs. Dad died at 89 last year with diabetes and hearts problems. His Dr recommended siblings take the CAC test. Kaiser Dr useless so I got a referral from a cardiologist for free and paid 71 dollars to have it done. Very cheap especially here in California. Test showed zero. I've been fighting high triglycerides for the last 3 years so this was reassuring. Watching my carbs taking many supplements and kind of doing carnivore eating for last 2 months along with IF 16/8 M-F. DHEA and pregnenolone daily has also helped me big time; for us seniors lol.

Thanks for giving this information

[@hilltop521]

Very informative covers a very important area of health

[@awake2truth511]

Just went into a cardiologist. My general doc was frustrated because I wouldn't take a statin based on High LDL and Trigs. So I went carnivore and am fasting (use to do keto). I've lost 15 pounds and will stay on until I get my BMI to 22. I did a barrage of my own tests (CRP, ApoB, LDL(a), insulin) through Quest Labs. I have high markers for all but insulin--which is great--I've used fasting for years to avoid Type II Diabetes. After seeing the cardiologist he told me, I could have stopped testing at LDL. (UGH) So I asked him for a CAC. Cardiologist willing to make referral but only if I'm open to taking statins. Otherwise he says it s a waste of time. And BTW insurance doesn't cover it!! So setting up a CAC appointment. Did Ask about the new - PCSK9 inhibitor instead of statin and doc says he can only prescribe that if someone is resistant to statins. Why does everything come down to stains all the time?!

Money

[@bw2569]

Isn't the CAC only a few hundred dollars now? My GP was surprisingly cool when I asked for one. I'm just a hypochondriac so I think he knew that'd it's hopefully ease my mind. Mines in a few weeks.

[@awake2truth511]

@@bw2569 I paid $129 for my CAC. Not covered by insurance, but not too expensive.

[@specialstone9153]

You are the best! I would like to visit you!

[@fredjones9853]

Statins equal BIG money for Pharma and Doctor 😂😂😂

[@peoplesvoice3355]

I have a blood clot I recently found out by CT scan. I'm just shocked how KZbin recommended this video to me. I never even typed a word in a KZbin search engine. I just came back from the hospital. Having said that. Now I know what to look forward to. Thank you for the info

[@salempeacock]

[@gollllllly]

[@vaniv4563]

Thank you so much for your explanation Dr....excellent explanation Sir🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@TheRelger]

Dr Jamnadas, you’re my doctor now. I’m following your advice.

[@bhupendrapatel2081]

Dr. I am the person you explain this condition. I got my Calcium score and CT Coronary Angiogram done. I am meeting my Cardiologist today.

[@shanaazjacobs3629]

Thanks Dr for the valuable information.. You're absolutely amazing..

[@200Nora]

I am a nurse, and this is the best explanation of a heart attack physiology. Because my LDL tends to be elevated, At 66, I myself had a CAC recently with a 0 score. I am slim and fairly active, avoid excess processed foods and sugars. It gave me some peace of mind, but I know it does not tell the whole story. However, after listening to this amazing dr. I am feel a lot better. I need to get me a stress test even if my score is 0 and shows no sign of small plaque that would give me almost 100% reassurance.
