STOCKBRIDGE – Claud Spinks has a history of cardiac issues in his family, but the former track and field coach at Eagle’s Landing High School felt like he was on the right track for avoiding those issues himself.

He exercised and ate right, so he was shocked when both his wife, who works in cardiovascular imaging, and his cardiologist Nimish Dhruva, M.D., both said it was likely he suffered from heart disease. They recommended that he have a cardiac CT scan to reveal his calcium score. The results shook Spinks to his core.
