@lenmayo I did have a CAC score of 21.1. I have lived with it for 3 years now- If I was to bet I am sure that score would be higher now considering it's been almost 4 years. It's almost like I am just waiting for something to happen- My Doc said he don't feel justified in sending me to the cath lab- I hope he's right...it's my life that's being gambled with not his...I will say this- he is only 5 years older than I am and he too has a CAC way higher than mine- so I do trust his judgement- but can't explain away my symptoms...Its frustrating.

A Calcium Scoring test checks the calcium in your coronary arteries.
The plaque in your arteries over time calcify.
It's like a cat scan. Mine was 1350 before my triple bypass.
