I have a very high calcium score. What next?

Hello - I’m a 40 y/o male that just received a calcium score of close to 1100 taken during a CT angiogram. 4 years ago my score was 330 at which time my crestor was doubled the 40 and 4g of vascepa daily along with an aspirin. I’ve had no symptoms, don’t smoke, eat very healthy, LDL regularly in the 40s-50s, and exercise very regularly. I’m at a loss on how my score still increased exponentially despite me taking every effort to reduce it over the past 4 years. Has anyone experienced anything similar with the score rising steeply even though you are taking all precautions to address it?

Hi, I just stumbled across this post from you and am curious if you’ve learned anything more about your situation/gained any new perspective or insight since? I am in a very similar situation - age 42, just found out I have a 397 calcium score, non-smoker, not overweight, exercise and a blood panel that according to a cardiologist actually looks basically fine. He is shocked by my high calcium score.

Anyway, not sure if you will see this, but very curios if you have any updates and hope you are well.
