Sourcery: Brad Gerstner’s $100 Heart Scan Could Prevent Heart Attacks

A simple $100 calcium CT scan could change how we catch heart disease before it turns deadly. In this condensed Sourcery summary, host Molly O'Shea sits down with Brad Gerstner, Jason Chang, and Rob Goldberg to discuss trailer-based heart scans, why a normal EKG can miss serious risk, and how early detection could save tens of thousands of lives. You’ll hear why Gerstner calls CAC screening the “mammogram for the heart,” how plaque and calcium scores guide next steps like statins and LDL/APOB reduction, and why the team is pushing for broader access through employers, Medicare, Medicaid, and policy change. We also cover Goldberg’s personal story, which shows how preventable heart disease can still be fatal when warning signs go unnoticed.
