Hi J, I have hypertension that goes up and down and saw a cardiologist for this reason who couldn’t figure out why. So a CAC was ordered and I had no idea when he told the results that it was high. I was aghast as I am small, a vegan who eats very well most of the time (though an occasional cookies slips in). I am also a walker trying to add in strength training. My total cholesterol is 162, HDL 70, LDL 77, Trigly 38. I used to always get a star ⭐️ on my lipid profile so never knew I had an artery problem. Wonder why this test isn’t given to everyone before it’s too late?
