@robmtk my husband’s is 5,185. No need for stents either. He’s on a heart healthy diet and exercise. He loved red meat but has made big diet changes. His most blocked coronary arteryis 25-49%. I understand stents aren’t needed unless 70% blocked. He has no symptoms and no risk factors. His atorvastatin was increased from 10mg to 80mg.

@kswartz keep us posted. I have been trying to figure out what to do with a 2500 score with uniform blocking I guess you would say. Doctor wants me to continue mowing the yard and doing treadmill and physical workout. Seems odd

@kswartz
that makes me feel better that someone else has similar issue and diagnosis. My most blocked artery is about the same. I was put on 5mg statin a few months ago. After the angiogram i was also told to take 1 baby aspirin a day.
