@tim1028, I didn't find anything in the postings by @lainie64 about "a moderate plaque burden" or a "somewhat elevated cardiac risk," only a low calcium score of 108. Moreover, if it's your judgment that a cardiologist is "likely to recommend" a statin, rather than extending that into a flat recommendation for a statin, I'd suggest that the patient ought to discuss the matter with her own professional medical team.
