If your coronary CT or calcium score just came back with plaque on it, that's not a reason to panic, it's an opportunity most people never get. In this video I break down what your results actually mean (narrowing vs. plaque burden vs. plaque type), the three goals of treatment once plaque is found (regress it, stabilize it, prevent more), and the four "buckets" I walk every patient through to figure out why they developed plaque in the first place.
