Have you had catheterization? Cath is usually called for if any discomfort or shortness of breath.
Did your doc inform you that statins often times cause very high CAC scores. Cardiologists, when asked, will say calcification caused by statins isn't dangerous because it "stabilizes soft plaque". Your 2250 number will increase even more with the doubling of statin dose.
Thank you. Thats good news. We are supposed to leave on vacation the next day after his cardiologist appt. He's hoping any tests can wait 10 days. How soon after your CAC test did any additional procedures or stress test get scheduled?
