Electron beam computerized tomography (EBCT) or Electron beam computerized tomography (EBCT)?

Does Thailand have this heart test available...

Electron beam computerized tomography (EBCT)

I want a heart calcium test and prefer non-invasive and no radioative KoolAid.

So far I've found a 64-slice where I drink the nuke juice from one hospital, and this from Bumrungrad;

"...the estimated costs of Calcium Score is approximately 4,650 Baht (outpatient basis only)."

This EBT test takes a pic in less that a tiny fraction of a second. There is very little distortion from heart movement and it's 3-D.

It detects calcium deposition on the coronary tissue and lets a relatively healthy person know their heart staus where treadmill-ECG or technetium-stress test may not detect it.

My lipids are very mixed;

LDL-C is 206

LDL-P is 2,458

Apolipoprotein-B is 145

But... the good news;

VLDL Cholesterol Calc. 11 (5-40 mg/dL)

TRIG: Triglycerides 56 (0-149 mg/dL) fasted, TRIG: On 8-26-14 Trig was 63 not fasted

C-Reactive protein is .8 mg/L (range is 0-3.00

HDL Cholesterol 71

I have large & fluffy lipid profile rather than small & dense. I tried 3 times to explain to my Dr that this was good but she said large & fluffy is the dangerous type...

I worry about my hydronic loop taking me out without notice.

I can't find a lipidologist in my area that is informed of recent research. They just have a number threshold and prescribe statins.
