"That cascade belies the mountain of evidence that shows that opening blockages with stents or bypassing them with surgery in stable patients does not reduce the risk of future heart attack or death over medical therapy alone.

Medical tests can never be good or bad. The problem is always the humans who misuse the test. For now, though, I argue (again) against using CAC scans
