High CAC score now lower

Posted by tlclimo @tlclimo, Aug 5 6:56am

3 years ago I had a heart scan. 2230 was the score. Visited a star Cardiologist and put me on nebivolol 5mg and raised my dose of crestor. Also on valsartan for BP.
Last week, went in for another CAC scan. 1600
Cardiologist says looks about the same. Continue with same regimen for meds.
Been working out a little every day 67 1/2 years old. Also about 20 minutes treadmill or 6k steps daily. Treadmill 2.1 mph.
Has anyone experienced a reduction in their score? Take daily vitamin K2 and co q 10 supplements.

@tlclimo I am just curious what lowered you CAC score, because Crestor does not do that, it just stabilizes the plaque.

@debwellmadebeh possibly just differences in the machines but it was encouraging to see it go down and definitely not up.
