My husband has an echocardiogram coming up this week. He has zero symptoms. We accidentally found out about this because he had a persistent cough after bronchitis and had a CAT scan of his lungs, and the radiologist noted the blockage. We never would have known since he has no symptoms is in good shape and no major health issues.

90% of men 70 years and older and 67% of women have coronary artery calcification, it's no big deal. Get on a statin, quit smoking, exercise, stick to a mostly plant based or Mediterranean diet and call a doctor if you ever feel chest pains/pressure etc when exerting yourself, easy peazy.
