re: Calcium score?

I am 50 and do marathons and longer distance triathlons. My weight, fitness, and BP is good, but I have to manage cholesterol. Maybe it was because of the cholesterol score that my family kept finding these stories of healthy people dropping dead in races and would hound me about going like I do. Never mind that the data shows that this sort of fatality, while awful and shocking, doesn’t happen very much statistically speaking to folks like me. They were convinced it would. So I went and got a calcium test done. It wasn’t covered by insurance, but it was only $100 and took no time to do. It came back zero and gave my family (and me) peace of mind. I am still running and gunning and happy. Also… and for whatever it’s worth… my doc said he wished everyone would go get a calcium test done, but he doesn’t push it because insurance won’t cover it.
