Yes, to comment with any meaning, it'd be good to know the CAC score, lipids, other risk factors including BP issues, smoking, family history, personal history of coronary or other significant illness, meds used, exercise level and tolerance...... ie, what your doc would want to know. Though this forum is not for medical professionals, I just happen to be one and the not-so-proud owner of a sky-high CAC level. jon

Thank you. Mine was 650 and I feel like I should buff up my will after listening to the doctor. My BP is always low, pulse 80; I follow Joel FUHRMAN’s Nutritarian diet, 5’3, 107 pounds, walk daily, still work, on no meds and my GP paints a very scary picture. I am 74 next month. One parent lived to 88 with “failure to thrive”; I appear physically very like her. My father, who smoked 3 packs of Camels and had alcoholism (a very sweet man nonetheless) died from a massive infarc at 51. Am I doomed?
