I have a very high calcium score. What next?

I had my calcium CT scan and LAD is 486. I have to wait until 11/25 for an echocardiogram. At the end of November I see my cardiologist. I live in a small town near Olympia, WA. If I am told I need a stent or anything else I may just get a 2nd opinion. I have had high cholesterol since my early 20’s. Even when my body fat was 22% I had high numbers. I have been on statins a long time. For the last 8 years I have had high blood pressure. On my paternal side there are no more cousins (15). My mother will be 98 in 10 days. I will be 74 end of December. I am worried.

@cher51 An echo? I would have thought they'd do an angiogram.
