High CAC Could it be from Covid and Treatment Drugs

Possibly. The great injury common to all variants of COVID-19 is the brutal extent of inflammation they cause. Plaque tends to form where there is inflamed endothelium inside the arteries. Inflamed tissue is rougher, in a manner of speaking, more like sand-paper than silky smooth surfaces normally associated with endothelial cells.

Interesting, appreciate the reply. I believe that my CAC is from the inflammation. I am 68 been Keto since 2013. I'm a runner, cyclist, hike and strength train for most of my life. This diagnosis has floored me. The thing I am struggling with now is the Cardiologist wants me to take a statin and I don't see any benefit in it for me. I take no meds; the statin won't remove the plaque!
