both ct scan and thallium stress test?

My cardiologist has recommended that I have both a thallium stress test and
a CT scan of the heart, to rule out any heart problems for me. The reason
for the tests is that my brother, 3 yrs older than me at 58,  recently had a
heart attack and subsequently had triple bypass surgery. It seems to me that
the CT scan would give a better answer about possible calcification and
would eliminate the need for the stress test. I'm trying to keep costs down
while still getting an accurate picture of my heart. Does anyone know if
both tests really are necessary?

thanks.

Your cardiologist knows whereas others who don't know your history and
have not examined you, would be guessing.

My guess:  If your thallium stress test is normal, this would obviate
the need for the cardiac CT scan because even if the latter were to
show blockages, the former would suggest that there are enough
collaterals to meet perfusion demands.

You are welcome.

All thanks and praises belong to GOD, Whom I love with all my heart,
soul, mind, and strength.

May GOD continue to help you with your needs, near Michael whom I love
unconditionally.

About stress tests, I have some confusions:-

1. Does these tell only about arteries conditions?

2. Can there be some other reasons(pH, lactic acidosis, breathing
abnormalities, electrolytic imbalance, anemia etc.) which may show
false abnormal results interpreting arteries disorders by these tests?

No. They tell the cardiologists whether the symptoms match up with
myocardial ischemia.

This is not clinically seen.

How a person with pH, lactic acidosis, breathing abnormalities,
electrolytic imbalance, anemia etc can express his symptoms on doing
stress? Hoe a cardilogist differenciate between expressions by these
symptoms and by real trouble?

Andrew is a "theocologist" - he believes that only his god produces
medical cures.  Anyone foolish enough to depend on a non-existent myth
to cure him of a medical problem, or foolish enough to take the advice
of someone who accepts the myth as a valid means of medical cures,
should avail himself of the nearest means of suicide - because we sure
aren't currently suffering from a LACK of fools in this world.

The ct scan shows only calcified plaque. The thallium test can detect
uncalcified (and probably more dangerous) plaque. I think that sometimes the
ct is done first. if it is really clear, there may be little probability of
major plaque buildup that the thallium would detect. The combination of
tests definitely gives a better picture than either alone.

The thallium will detect a  reduction of flow and is a functional test
(it is reporting reduction in flow and does not really distinguish
vulnerable from non vulnerable plaque).  Only IVUS will report
vulnerable plaque.  Unfortunately, you need the reduction in flow to be
quite significant for it to show up in the thalium stress test.  

The cardiologist is proposing a test that could detect low levels of
calcified plaque and a functional test that would be sensitive to
significant blockage.  If you have led anywhere close to a normal
American life it is a fairly good bet that you have some degree of
coronary artery disease (and will score positive on the calcium
scoring).  As Jim pointed out, the calcified plaque is generally more
likely to cause angina and physical discomfort rather than sudden death
or MI which vulnerable soft non-calcified plaque will cause.

At the current moment in time, none of the non-invasive tests are all
that great.  They are simply so so screening tools that will stratify
your risk for more definitive but unfortunately considerably more
expensive and risky invasive tests.  You simply have to accept that.  
Given the fact that the non invasive diagnostics are crappy, I would be
biased towards medical intervention at the smallest anomaly (bad lipids,
blood pressure etc.).

I agree completely. I also think that the crux of the issue is: "Given the
fact that the non invasive diagnostics are crappy, I would be
biased towards medical intervention at the smallest anomaly (bad lipids,
blood pressure etc.)."

Atherosclerosis is so widespread in my family, that both my internist and I
felt that a Ca score of 216 at age 57, even though followed by a normal
thallium stress test, was good enough reason to adopt several interventions:
low-dose aspirin, tighter control of blood pressure, weight loss back to my
age 21 weight, a gym membership (and follow-through!), several changes to my
diet, plus 10 mg of Lipitor.

Given *my* situation, I might have opted for more invasive testing before
taking on the Lipitor, but I decided not to. It's been six years now.

How this test unable to detect decreased movement of blood? What does
it mean in echo test, % working of heart?

What is the differene between just hardening of arteries and their
narrowing? Whether hardening indicate only calcification whereas
narrowing fatty substances deposition?

How Calcification is indicated due to cells damages/death, necrosis
etc. in arteries?

Calcification happens with the aging of the atheromatous plaque.

Yes.  However, the current understanding is that all atheromatous
plaques will calcify with the passage of time.

No.  First there is vascular inflammation with lipid peroxidation
resulting in the accumulation of oxidized lipoproteins that further
promote vascular inflammation as there is infiltration of macrophages
that ingest the oxidized lipids becoming the precursor foam cells that
with time will die from being overburdened with the oxidized lipids
they have ingested.  The calcification happens because of dead and
dying cells that are the consequence of the inflammation.

Can only hardening of arteries without narrowing or only narrowing
without hardening is possible? If yes, what only hardening will result?

Whether unsaturated fats intake trigger more vascular inflammation,
lipid peroxidation and free radical activities than saturated fats?

Whether saturated fats esp. butter and pure ghee causes more bile
secretion that unstaturated fats?

What about only hardening, some narrowing but never blocking?

How hardening, some narrowing and partially blocking effect blood

The small difference does not hold a candle to the vascular
inflammation coming from cytokines from VAT.

The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is non-negotiable.

It is wiser to simply lose the VAT than to argue with GOD about this.

Even after many years of diabetics, it was evident in case of my two

causing hardening not blocking? Probably, never hypertensive or some

Yes but I think it can also happen due to some disorder?

gall bladder?

Whether amount, composition and reabsorption of bile changes on
different exposures & abnormilities?

Whether low gastric acid or excess bile is the reason to absorbing more
fats & IBS?

What physiological effects, variations in atmospheric temperature &

Just for understanding purpose. I think, althought all type of natural
foods to us may be needed as we may not be understanding absolutely
what may benefit on becoming defficient. But we can eat bit more with
some other manipulation, right food, excercise, improving lifestyle and
live stress free etc.?

There are stem cells residing in the arteries of the legs.

The improvement in myocardial perfusion is transient and achieved by
raising pressures during diastole.  The obstructions remain present
during EECP and so the need for collateral vessels will be apparent to
the possible relocalization of stem cells from the leg arteries to the
coronaries.

In what form, abosrbed fatty acids part in circulating or stored
triglycerides exists in body? Its chain and bond still remain same as

Yes, but I meant which out of Saturated(esp. milk fat) and unsaturated
is more beneficial to diabetic2 without abnormal lipid profile? Few
thought that milkfat causes more bile secretion in intestine and more
of its excretion, so may cause usage and recirculation of cholesterols
and their control? Is it right?

That would be downstream of where the collaterals will need to start

The secretion of bile is not involved in the development and

I think new Collateral arteries can be from upstream to downstream?

Will  "decreased supply of nutrients/O2" be not due to upstream or/and
downstream reasons?

Is it wise to take oils/foods with no cholesterol?

Can  cholesterol in fats be a reson to stimulate more secretion of bile
in intestines?

It can effect fats absorption, more fats may be a reason to getting IR
?

Whether Prespitation from these,can benefit by removing water from
cells if abnormal due to hypotonic environment out of different cells?
Or, can such prespiration reverse hypotonicy?

Can't such bathing preferance be due to blood flow or vascular tone

There is slowing of blood flow upstream of the obstructive lesion.

Not difficult for those who are using the 2PD-OMER Approach and have
overcome the brainwashing that "hunger is bad."

More VAT from overeating is the reason for the IR.

If there is a  slowing of blood flow upstream of the obstructive

Can decreased blood flow to parts as a result to vasoconstriction or

overeating?

The collaterals will be coming from upstream to supply the deficit
downstream.

Cholesterols can be synthesized de novo from fats, carbohydrates, and
protein.

When there is no overeating, there is no VAT being formed.

How ironic.

Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim, laced with invective, as
expected from someone who lacks a logical argument.
