Niacin: Take It or Toss It?

In: Heart Health

The AIM HIGH study was a large national study looking at the use of niacin in treating patients with heart disease. The study was stopped early as authorities stated that to continue the study was “futile”. Apparently this has caused some of the top physicians in the country to limit their use of niacin in their patients. Is that good or not? The bottom line is, should we take or toss our niacin? Join Lindsay and Dr. Blanchet as they discuss this very important news. You will get the real facts, so that you can make you own decision.Read More →

New Option In Colon Cancer Screening

In: Colon Health

Virutal Colonoscopy is Now Covered by Many Insurances! Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men and women. Early diagnosis can change this. The 5 year survival rate for localized, early colon cancer is 90%. Unfortunately, only 39% of colon cancers are diagnosed at early stages due to inadequate, or lack of screening. Virtual Colonoscopy at Front Range Endorses an Easier Alternative! The American Cancer Society stated that virtual colonoscopies, or CTC, are one of the best primary screening tests for colon cancer risk. Several insurance companies are now covering the screening procedure. Why Virtual Colonoscopy is the Best Choice forRead More →

Lisa G’s Story: The Value of Serial Heart Scans

On: February 4, 2009
In: Stories

“Your first calcium score shows your risk. Your second calcium score saves your life.” The first time you get an EBT heart scan, you will get your calcium score. It is a very valuable piece of information. This number is your baseline and what you want to either keep the same, or ideally lower, each year. When either happens, plaque is considered “stable”. Stable plaque does not rupture and your chances for a coronary event are greatly reduced. The REST of Lisa’s Story Lisa looked like a very healthy mother of 2 at age 49. Actually, she was a physician’s dream: low cholesterol, low bloodRead More →

Terry K.: The 7 Days That Saved His Life

“I figured I would be talking to a cardiologist at some point in my life, but I thought it would be when I was 75, not now.” “At my doctor’s urging, I had an EBT heart scan on Oct 21, 2008. I was 54. I was told that anything urgent would be reported to my doctor that day. If nothing was urgent, I would see a report at the end of the week. One hour later, my doctor’s office was calling to schedule a stress test. That test was done on Oct. 27th. An hour after getting back to my office, the cardiologist called toRead More →

Anne Q. : No One is Exempt. Tom’s Story

Hello everyone, may name is Anne. I had my first heart scan 14 years ago following the sudden death of my brother at just 51 years of age. I’ve since had scans done on a regular basis. In my case, my calcium score increased over time. Each time, my doctor would adjust my medications, diet, and exercise programs until we found a treatment program that worked for me, not the national statistics. I was elated when my most recent heart scan showed no further progression of coronary plaque burden. But my story continues. In August, 2006, my very healthy, fit, slender, former marathon-runner husband, Tom,Read More →

Steve J. “Incidentally, the EBT Heart Scan saved my life in two ways”.

2009-02-04

In: Stories

Steve’s first heart scan showed some coronary calcium. The scan also showed a small nodule on his lung. These “incidental” findings are not unusual with an EBT heart scan. Although the focus of the scan is the heart, the entire upper chest cavity is viewable. Sometimes other things show up. It was suggested that Steve consult a pulmonologist about the finding, which he did. Steve had been a smoker, but quit 20 years ago. He was assured, by the pulmonologist, that the nodule was “nothing to worry about, it was fine.” Fortunately Steve’s doctor was a believer in serial EBT heart scans. When Steve cameRead More →
