Denny's "Public Service Announcement"
While at no risk or history of a major heart attack, a
Coronary CT Scan for Calcium
, revealed major blockages to Denny's heart.  A Nuclear Stress Test, revealed blockages in Denny's Left Aortic Descending Artery.  Denny had two cardiac procedures and five stints installed.  This complication if undetected results in a major heat attack and death.  This is often called by doctors, the Widowmaker Heart condition

My wife too. Had me do the Calcium Scan. Four years ago. I had no symptoms. No chest pain. Was active. No history. Next thing I know. I had a double by-pass. My blockage was close to the aorta. Not able to stent it. I was 59. I have a ugly scar, but I am alive and doing well. Best 73. N5RWF
