Thanks for all the replies and advice. Agree it is best to keep a positive attitude as anyone could get hit by a bus tomorrow and then no need to worry about cholesterol or calcium plaque. Still, the point of the exercise in finding out your CAC score is not just knowing it, but taking the next step to know if and where there is any narrowing especially in that LAD or RCA. Has anyone had the CT test with contrast dye to get a much closer look at these arteries and note any narrowings? Were they accurate? I’ve seen research that says a CAC score more than 1000 is just a warning and the plaque could all be solid and no obstructions or narrowing so without actually looking at those specified arteries it means little in the way of stroke heart attack risk if you are asymptomatic (no)?
