What does that mean? I wasn't told that anything was wrong when I had the cat scan done last year, but getting tests done Monday and thought I would go online and view some records and chose to look at the results of my cat scan

Dablues, I moved your question about Atherosclerotic Vascular Calcification to this existing discussion in the Heart & Blood Health group. I did this so you could connect with @anderson777, who asked a similar question that @fastback66 answered.

Vascular calcifications are common but can be serious. Now that you know you have vascular calcifications, you can have a conversation with your doctor. It's important to find the cause of calcifications and learn how you might prevent build up. Often lifestyle changes can help. Sometimes medical treatment is necessary. Will you have a chance to speak with your doctor?
