Was prompted by a tweet to check with Rivers Hospital about CAC scans..

You can still self refer but the price has now gone up to £350.00

Just thought I'd let you guys know.

@bulkbiker - apologies for pulling up this old thread, but I couldn't find our brief exchange about CAC scan scores.

Today I received my research participant's summary outcomes letter, which included confirmation of my CAC Scan at 4.2, but also confirmed this was using the Agatston Scale.

Thoroughly fascinating research study and very thorough cardiac MOT.
