Hmmm ... couple of things.

The CT process used for the CAC test is likely different than the CT used for inflammation and pneumonia.

My sense is that LOTS of folks who have high calcium are like you - maybe not the majority, but enough - to indicate the calcified plaque could be a genetic condition.

And, finally - unless you consider yourself as educated and informed as your cardiologist, perhaps you should heed their advice? You must know the statin will increase the calcification of your plaque, which could mitigate the likelihood of the plaque breaking off?
