Thanks, have been considering this. Just curious, is your comment about the fact that she never recommended a calc score OR that I have been on statins and still have a high calc score?

No need to change doctors, statins increase arterial calcification and CAC scores which is a good thing and what you want, your plaque is shifting into a stabilized stage. Heart cath and no stent needed shows proactive approach which is good. There is nothing for you to do but stay on your statin and make all neccessary lifestyle changes, many people in their 90s with CAC scores over 5000 living normal lives.
