2 Things a Cardiac Examination Needs to be Complete

  • In this video I will explain today many patients are getting an incomplete cardiac examination. A coronary calcium score, also known as a heart scan, is vitally important together with a metabolic syndrome workup in the evaluation of cardiovascular disease. The traditional workup of a stress test, echocardiogram, and routine lipid blood tests is inadequate cardiac examination on its own. Knowing whether you have coronary calcium and risk factors allows potent lifestyle changes and dietary interventions to be made.

      It is crazy how insurance companies will cover the disease but not the prevention. My husband's PSA test levels continued to show increases. His dad and brother both had prostrate cancer so although he was under seventy we had concerns. Our insurance company would cover PSA tests more than every two years, so we paid for them. I did call the insurance company and suggested they look at the things they waste money on. I told them cancer is much more expensive than preventative testing. Sure enough, he got prostrate cancer, so it was good that we paid for the tests ourselves and caught it while it was still contained in the prostrate..

    I had an MI in Dec of 2019, my cardiologist didn't do a calcium score or a metabolic workup and didn't even care that I was prediabetic. I studied on my own and decided to start Keto, lost 27 lbs, got my A1c down to 4.7, started supplements to reduce coronary calcium (D3, K2, and others) and exercise daily (walking for 40 mins). I recently asked for a Insulin Resistance test and it showed that I was at 12 (33 is prediabetic). I now requested a CAC test (my cardiologist wasn't even sure what it was) and will go in tomorrow for it. I wish Dr Jamnadas was here in Phoenix. Thank you for all you do and share with us.

      To distal in the lad, yet my cardiologist never told me. He said I was fine except my injection fraction was lower then he expected. It was 55 to 60% (which is considered normal.) The only reason I knew about the blockages is b/c I went to the hospital and requested my test results. I advise everyone to get a copy of your labs and test. These Drs want you to be on drugs so they can get their commission.

My weight holds steady at 175 lbs, which I consider the perfect weight for my height (6ft).

I do regular intermittent fasting, and HIIT training when I walk/jog. I am no longer taking the plant sterols or the K2+D3 as my diet gives my body what it needs.

My score lead me to a cardiac ct which found I have heart decease with 35% blockage in the LAD. I would have never known. My calcium scan cost 100 dollars and 10 min of my time.

    All my mother had was sharp pain in her left arm pit that kept getting progressively worse which was ignored and passed off at a local ER, it wasn’t until my father, threatened everyone with a lawsuit that three hours later they took her seriously, it turned out she had 5 blockages that were 90 & 95% blocked. They immediately prepped her for surgery. After surgery due to her having gone 3 hours without treatment they gave her 5 years at the most & she passed 5 years to the day November 12th, 1986. She was also type 1 diabetic since she was 16. There’s not a day goes by that she is not missed. She was 50 years old when she passed. 😢

    I learned more in this video than I have learned from my cardiologist and surgeon(CABG) in the months leading up to my surgery and the year since my surgery. They told me after the surgery (95% blockage on the widow maker) that I still had a 75% blockage on my right artery. The surgeon told me not to delay having a stent put in, but my cardiologist said he won't put one in until there is 80% blockage and he would check me again 12 months after my CABG! I have had mild chest pain on and off since the surgery and have been to ER a couple of times. If they did the calcium and metabolic tests I am not aware of it. I think I am going to look for another cardio doc.

    Great info and Dr. J is so right. My older surfer brother, not a ounce of fat on him, was getting chest pains while surfing what would be his very last time. A week later, he went to get stress test and had double carotid artery stroke during the test that almost killed him. They did not give him ANY clot busting meds in fear of the clots going to brain and killing him. 3 months later had scan of the carotid arteries at a vascular surgeon office, and by some divine intervention, they saw NO blockage in the carotids. 6 months later when he was better recovered from the double stroke, he went in again for the heart scan and the next day he had quadruple bypass, having 2 arteries 90% blocked, the others 75% blocked. I am still amazed at how he had all this happen and how he recovered. Sad thing is that he avoided doctors and did not take any BP meds as he knew we had very high BP genetically. Me and my other bro had been taking small BP meds last 10 years. Anyway, somethings defy logic but watching Dr Jamnadas is amazing and his instant recall of what he knows is also very wonderful, truly a very, very smart man, I am lucky that he is near me and I probably will go see him soon to get a thorough check out. He is the only doc I have seen to list his prices on his website for procedures and also lab work. I have lab blood work to get done and was not able to get actual cost to me from the lab, even with my insurance!!! What a scam they run! I think it said on his website that they got so tired of dealing with all the different insurance payment amounts, they mainly do only cash pay labs and for a full CBC, the cost listed was 33 bucks!!!!! Thank You, thank You Dr. Jamnadas!!!!!!!!!! Happy New Year!!!

    Just went into a cardiologist. My general doc was frustrated because I wouldn't take a statin based on High LDL and Trigs. So I went carnivore and am fasting (use to do keto). I've lost 15 pounds and will stay on until I get my BMI to 22. I did a barrage of my own tests (CRP, ApoB, LDL(a), insulin) through Quest Labs. I have high markers for all but insulin--which is great--I've used fasting for years to avoid Type II Diabetes. After seeing the cardiologist he told me, I could have stopped testing at LDL. (UGH) So I asked him for a CAC. Cardiologist willing to make referral but only if I'm open to taking statins. Otherwise he says it s a waste of time. And BTW insurance doesn't cover it!! So setting up a CAC appointment. Did Ask about the new - PCSK9 inhibitor instead of statin and doc says he can only prescribe that if someone is resistant to statins. Why does everything come down to stains all the time?!

      You had no symptoms yet you had a ct scan, that showed 90% blockage and your artery is stentable. I have 50% in my mid lad, and 70% distal lad. My problem is my artery is to small for stents. My only hope is to stabilize my blockages through diet, medication, or have bypass surgery. It’s almost as though being in good shape was a curse and blessing for you. Being in shape saved your life (blessing) you had no symptoms at 90% blockage because you’re in shape (curse) I had symptoms with my blockages. I’m also in pretty good shape and eat a well balanced diet. Mostly fruits, veggies, nuts beans, and whole grains, daily intermittent fasting for over 3 years straight yet I have this condition.

    Finally found a doctor who cares for people. It is very rare in America. Most doctors care for putting you on circular appointments and keep treating symptoms as oppose to treating root cause of the symptoms. I am T2D and my doctor kept giving me metphormin until I started taking control over my diet. Most of the condition our body is created by ourselves and if you undo them, it will be normal. High cholesterol, High blood pressure and T2D falls in this category

    I guess it's fate, or just good timing, that I found your channel this week doc. I went to my cardiologist last week for a yearly checkup. I asked for a coronary artery calcium score, and he said I didn't need it. Just basically dismissed me like I was an idiot. And in the same visit, he says he knows I have calcium, because the ct scan shows it, and everyone my age has some plaque. So I leave with a prescription for low dose statin and low dose aspirin, and no CAC score. This is why people like me have a hard time trusting the medical establishment. I guess I just need to move to Florida!

    I did a Coronary Calcium CT scan and my number was 225. I went to a cardiologist for advice and she told me to do a low fat diet and was questioning me about being there if I have no pain. I told her I was trying to do prevention since heart disease is in my blood line. She ordered a stress test. I finally had to call her for my results and was told everything looked OK and to come see her in a year. I plan to find another cardiologist. I also do wonder 🤔 when or if I will have a heart attack.

      If I where you I would get a copy of the stress test. I went through the same thing with my cardiologist. He said I was fine over the phone. Asked for a copy of the report. The report stated that I had moderate mitral valve regurgitation, mild bicuspid regurgitation, trace aorta regurgitation, left ventricular hyper trophy, and dilated right ventricula. I researched it so a made some adjustments to my diet, and life style. It’s not a major concern, but he should’ve told me. Some of these Drs want your condition to become bad enough so they can perform a procedure or put you on meds.

His only warning was 2 times with in a few weeks before he passed out while once pulling on a pull start engine on landscape chipper, and another time working on a fence.

I am slim and fairly active, avoid excess processed foods and sugars. It gave me some peace of mind, but I know it does not tell the whole story. However, after listening to this amazing dr. I am feel a lot better. I need to get me a stress test even if my score is 0 and shows no sign of small plaque that would give me almost 100% reassurance.

    So happy to find your videos, thank you for your compassion caring spirit . Physicians are taught to diagnose and treat patients, not so much to teach folks how to remain or be healthy. I’m a believer that we should be advocates in our own health. We get a manual with a vehicle telling us how it runs and how to maintain to last . We should know how our bodies work and how to maintain good health. We need more physicians like you. I have always kept copies of my yearly labs and compare them from year to year, it’s my manual, usually the nurse calls says we got your results doc said it’s normal. What I see is my lipids increasing, so before I get a call I need statins, I watch my diet keeping in check. I’m having medical issues now testing next week. I wish I could have you for my cardiologist, however you are helping by educating me to ask questions. So thank you for that. God bless you truly beautiful man ❤

I've been fighting high triglycerides for the last 3 years so this was reassuring.
