Here are the details of my two heart scan scores, one recent, the other one and a half years ago.

February 2009:

August 2010:

2010-08-18 heart scan results

To give some context, this group of patients given a whole bunch of treatments (”statin therapy, niacin, the American Heart Association Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D-3 supplementation”) meant to improve these scores managed, on average, about a 0% change in scores after 1-2 years of the treatments. Which is better than the usual 25%/year increase, but not as good as what happened to me.
