All of this advice seems really good. The only one I am reluctant to follow is getting a CT or CTA scan.
For reference, radiation levels:
Chest X-ray: ~0.1 mSv (millisieverts)
Head CT: ~2 mSv
Chest CT: ~7 mSv
Abdomen–pelvis CT: ~10 mSv
CTA (angiography): often 10–20 mSv
Are there non X-ray diagnostic imaging scans that can detect arterial plaque?
