I have a very high calcium score. What next?

Nothing can reverse calcification of the arteries except for some surgeries using artery sized blades or lasers that scrape it off and a catheter using sound waves which breaks it up, although I have read about some people having natural calcification regression with LDL levels below 60. The main thing you can do is take a statin to stabilize the plaque and harden up that gooey soft stuff which is what breaks off and causes all sorts of problems. Exercise/diet/low BP/low inflammation all help arterial health as well.

My cardiologist has told me that yes, calcium regression is possible if you live to 150 as it's glacially slow, but low LDL along with a statin lowers the risk as you describe
