pre-Emptive Strike
I decided to find out where i stood heart-wise
since my DAD had 90% of his arteries clogged
at age 69 resulting in a 5-way by pass that failed
way back when.... late 70's.
So i just got my results back from my recent MRI
and it was ZERO ! no calcification at ALL.
I hit a Home run and that Baseball
just left earth's orbit lol

Are you sure you had an MRI for that? Typically the two tests that are used to detect arterial calcification are A; EDCT (electron beam computed tomography) or MDCT (multi-detector computed tomography). I had the EDCT done several years ago but only because I had other medical issues going on that replicated some symptoms of blockage. It's not typically done as a "pre-emptive strike" though as most insurance companies want a valid reason for the procedure to be done.

my terminology pre emptive strike not theirs
i had to know how i compared to my father
as i was approaching his age... in a handful of years
but your right BO more of a CAT scan but the heart DOC
called it an MRI and the machine was a doughnut SHAPE deal
~
A computed tomography (CT) scan uses X-rays to make detailed pictures of structures inside of the body.
During the test, you will lie on a table that is attached to the CT scanner, which is a large doughnut-shaped machine.
The CT scanner sends X-ray pulses through the body.
thankfully i don't have my Father's clogged arteries
