John Schoonbee of Swiss Re on Coronary Calcification CAC - and Staying Alive!

John Schoonbee, MD of Swiss Re is Chief Medical Officer for the Life and Health Division of Swiss Re, the world's largest Re-Insurer. Re-Insurers "underwrite" big risks for the countless insurance companies around the world - so they have to know what they're doing!

Which brings us to Coronary Calcification and the CAC Score - which will become the new standard for identifying heart disease risk in high-value clients (as the stress test etc. have been shown to be very inadequate for the purpose.)

This one is short and sweet - and gets to the heart of the matter!
