i'm a 79 yr old male who had a CAC score of 6600 from my coronary CT scan. My echo results are good and i exercise daily. Dr. put me on a statin as my cholesterol had reached the low normal range. My numbers had been excellent my entire life till a few years ago when they started creeping toward the out of range numbers.
Dr. also performed a catheterization which showed minor blockages which did not require any stents.
I have been on warfarin for past 20 years and believe that may have helped cause the high score. Not sure if anything can be done to keep it from getting worse, besides the statin. Dr. was not overly concerned with the high score but I'm seeing him next month and will discuss this further.
