I’m a 65 year old , that is very healthy, I weigh 115 walk and average of 5 to 9 miles a day. I try and eat healthy I don’t drink and smoke. I keep active. But the calcium score freaks me out. 600 is way too high. What can I do?

Many - MANY - folks have much higher CAC scores and remain asymptomatic.

Rule out obvious things:
- stress test with echo
- peripheral artery disease test
- advanced lipids test
- statins to get LDL around 50
- icosapent ethyl to get triglycerides around 50
- make sure you are symptomatic ... no chest discomfort ever?
- keep up your great lifestyle

Unless you have bad results from the above, live your life.
