Get a Coronary Artery Calcium Score by Age 45
The play

Dr. Sara Gottfried says
The single most important thing women can do is get a coronary artery calcium score by age 45, sooner if there is premature heart disease. It is a CT scan of the chest that you can self order. It gives you a fork in the road for how seriously to treat cardiometabolic health, which points toward the number one killer. Her own score was zero, while being elevated with risk factors like PCOS points toward the need to make changes.
