Nuffield Hospital, Derby charge £522 for a scan. I am asking what benefit I would gain from having this done.
This would show hard plaque, if you have any and give a baseline for future potential measurements. If there is no or minimal hard plaque then potentially lethal soft plaque is less likely. CAC scans wipe the floor with other markers for heart health.Nuffield Hospital, Derby charge £522 for a scan. I am asking what benefit I would gain from having this done.

Hi Carol
I had mine done to see what damage 30 years of boozing, smoking and over eating had done to my heart and to get a reference point from which to monitor any problems.
I had mine done at Rivers Hospital in Hertfordshire and the cost at the time was £225 which so far as I am aware is the current price. I liked that I could self refer without troubling my doctors. I'll probably get another done next year to check on progression of the mild calcium they found (score of 40) and see if my new way of eating has any benefits.
Certainly how I spent my youth.. !You remind me of George Best, you spent your life boozing, smoking and eating...and wasted the rest, (or something like that).
