A while back Dr. Martin had me do a scan for a separate issue. He said that while I was there I should do a heart calcification scan also. I did. 10 min and very little cost. Results were a score of 4750 which is 5 times what it should have been. Soon after I had a quad bypass surgery. Because of Dr. Martin finding this before any heart event I was treated and released with no damage to my heart due to early detection. I've had a stress test since and there is no visible damage to my heart. 6 months prior to surgery I had a nuclear stress test and it showed no issues with my heart. It totally missed the problems detected by the calcification study. Without Dr. Martin's suggestion I would not be alive today. My cardiologist made the statement after the fact that I shouldn't be alive
with these numbers. Dr. Martin is a triffid Doctor and a great diagnostician.
