Congratulations, you are in the low-risk population.
You are in a group of people where the rate of the event is up to 10% in ten years.
This means that, if we took 100 people with the same characteristics, then up to 10 of those individuals would have a heart attack in the next 10 years; we just don't know who.
My name is Doctor Warrick Bishop. I'm a practicing cardiologist (living in Tasmania), and the founder and CEO of The Healthy Heart Network.
I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist, I run a private practice of over 10,000 patients, and I'm also the author of #1 International Best Seller "Know Your Real Risk of Heart Attack"
Current Australian practice would suggest that you should be reassured, encouraged to exercise, not gain excessive weight, continue to have your blood glucose checked together with your blood pressure and repeat the risk calculator on a yearly to 2nd yearly basis with your local doctor.
It's our obligation to let you know where extra testing by imaging the heart fits in for low-risk patients.
In general terms, imaging is not recommended for low-risk individuals.
The risk calculator however does not include factors that could increase your risk, factors we call “risk enhances” such as family history, elevated cholesterol, pre-diabetes or even obesity.
