What was said
""Uh so the screening test is what's called a coronary artery calcium test. And when I spoke to Chuck a couple of years ago, I said, "Chuck, go get this test." Right? That's like the mammogram for the heart.""
Philip Ovadia argues that coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans are a cheap, underused way to measure calcified plaque in the heart’s arteries. He says men should get a CAC scan by 40 and women by 50, comparing it to mammography as a routine screening tool.
