Be careful about getting tests in order to consider prophylactic stenting. There is no evidence this saves lives or prevents heart attacks. I say this as someone whose healthy and athletic brother had a sudden cardiac death at the age of 56. I have refused even a calcium score as I am statin intolerant and it would not help me make any particular health decisions as I am athletic and eat well. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/23/health/heart-attack-stent-angiogram-chest-pain-angina.html
