Efeso Collins

[harm_less]

Very many people have calcification of their arteries but don't know it until they have a CT scan to investigate the condition, or it results in a serious medical event.

There are likely to be number of contributing factors that led to Efeso's collapse including long standing dietary habits, personal and job stress and other underlying medical conditions. The mental challenges of a newly appointed MP including the pressure of his political responsibilities to participate in a charity event wouldn't have left him much choice in being able to no-show on the day if he wasn't feeling on par.

Can they do it with a CT scan these days?
My father once had an angiogram where they inject dye into your veins and take a series of x-rays.
He came back clear with no blockages or plaque.
He had been feeling short of breath for a bit and the doctors don't know why but he since came right.

There are new studies that emerging that suggest that cholesterol is not the evil thing we once thought it was, but can be an array of different factors, and as you say it's more of a calcification on the arteries rather than fat buildup.
