All the best to your husband on his heart surgery. Did he have any indications, such as shortness of breath, that lead to the CT scans and angiogram? Age and genetics play a role, despite his athletic fitness level. My cardiologist does not want to do an angiogram, because my exercise stress test with echocardiogram showed no issues. I'm 72, a few years younger than your husband, and follow all the suggested heart-health guidelines. As bluesdoc, a physician, has mentioned, there's a lot we don't know yet about interpreting high CAC scores.
