@harrydog I was 72 and had a routine CAC scan due to family history. It came back 1160. A cardiologist contacted me and wanted me to come in for more tests. It took me two weeks for the initial consult, then almost a month to get an echo, and another month before a heart catheterization. I was beyond nervous. I felt like I was a walking time bomb during that time. I was petrified to exert myself at all. The echo came back normal and my heart cath showed minor blockages of 30 and 40%. I am 73 now and I am losing weight and eating healthier, but at this point in my life, I’m enjoying living. If I should keel over with a massive heart attack and die, in my mind that’s better than dying with dementia. I don’t mean to sound glib, but get further tests done and follow the cardiologist’s recommendations.

@harrydog …I would encourage you to get an LPa and APOb test. That is a much better picture of what is going on. Don’t panic…at least now you know to be followed by a cardiologist.
