320 is a very heavy score for age 45. And all in LAD. Follow up and stay on top of this.

I’m 42 but have been resisting getting mine done even though I’m in radiology.

Why? I'm late 40s healthy weight, BP, and good cholesterol but early heart attacks and strokes on both sides of family and parents have high BP etc. I've been thinking about getting this test but unsure if I can just get it myself or is I need a referral. If I can just pay a couple hundred out of pocket might be worth not hassling with military or VA docs. Os there a down side to getting the test? I'm afraid of having a heart attack while out alone on the street or a trail doing cardio.
