Crazy high calcium score of 3,000+

Surprised you are on Such a low dose statin. My husband’s cardiologist increased his atorvastatin from 10mg to 80mg when his Ca score was 5,185.
Even though his LDL was within normal limits. Her goal is to have his LDL 40-50. He has no symptoms at all, is not overweight, does not drink or smoke.

@kswartz The doc actually wanted me at 80mg, but I felt I was experiencing side affects so immdiately went down to 60mg which she was fine with. But I will re-visit this issue and target LDL when I go back soon. I've read recommendations to get below 55 LDL, but I don't think my doc felt that was crucial. Mine was 65 LDL on the last test, and 69 before that, which I suspect is higher than she would like, so we will see....
