I have a very high calcium score. What next?

Hey Bruce. What other heart problem did you have? Mine was enlarged arteries, which slows down the flow of blood. So clotting is the major danger.
They want me to take a large dose of statins to handle cholesterol, but I'm having second thoughts. Some think that stuff is poison.

I am researching for my husband, 68yo, quite healthy, with high cholesterol. He has resisted statins, after taking them for a number of years. His cac score was 532. His resistance to statins is based on info like an NIH article "Long-term statin therapy is associated with severe coronary artery calcification" PMCID: PMC10374064
This will be a challenge to navigate.
