Most heart attacks happen in people who “seem healthy.”
Dr. Haque explains the scan he was afraid to get—and why it changed everything.

Heart disease is the #1 killer, yet many heart attacks happen in people with normal cholesterol and no symptoms. In this video, Dr. Haque explains why he finally decided to get a coronary calcium scan, despite being afraid of what it might reveal.
This test doesn’t predict risk—it shows actual damage already in your arteries. If you have a family history of heart disease, high Lp(a), or feel unsure whether medications or lifestyle changes are enough, this video could change how you think about prevention.

Dr. Haque also shares:
Why cholesterol is only half the story
The genetic risk factor most doctors don’t test
Why stress tests can miss dangerous plaque
How knowing your score can radically change behavior
Who should (and should NOT) get this scan
This video is dedicated to his father—and to anyone who wants clarity instead of blind hope.
