Extremely high calcium score at 42 - is there any positive here??

I too have elevated LP(a) and had to research and ask for it to
be tested myself since my two different cardiologists over time
never tested it. Somewhat high LDL so put me on statins.
That lowered my LDL but LP(A) went up . ( I cut my statin
dosage in half and it still went up. ) Apparently
a genetic condition? Seems to be little information about
it although there is a good cardiology rounds report from
Stanford on line which suggest two medications may be coming
up for FDA approval. Why don't cardiologists do these particle tests
routinely?

My score is 50 and my cardio isn't worried. Some people report scores over 200. Apparently there isn't any way to get the calcium out of the blood once it is there. We can make the effort to stop it from accumulating in the blood. Diet, exercise, low sodium diet, D3 helps the mechanism in the body process calcium eaten go to the bones instead of the blood. Just my experience to go on. My calcium hasn't gone up since I started D3 at 2-3, 2000IU pills per day. Good luck. Every body is different.
