I’m an active healthy ( I thought) 70 year old female, exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet and not overweight, found out my CAC is 537. My family history is bad with heart disease, aneurysm and stroke on both parents side. I had a heart cath which did not require stenting yet, and my carotid ultrasound shows 69% blockage in left carotid artery, and doctor said they don’t clean out the carotids till 70% blocked when I asked if I could have it done. Yes I am freaked out by this, so I have endeavored to eat even healthier, more evoo, flax seed, and have lost a few pounds. My cardiologist put me on Crestor 40 mg daily, baby aspirin, a vasodilator and blood pressure meds. I rarely have high blood pressure but occasionally it would spike up so I’m glad to be on the meds. I sure would like to be proactive on this, any recomendations?
