check and increase your vitamin d usage and reduce calcium intake...rosuvastatin said to reduce risk...you could start using a blood thinner like aspirin which reduces risk of clot formation...zetia reduces cholosterol readings to normal almost immediately usually...

One baby aspirin every day
Asked, aggressively, for Zetia; cardiologist said one thing at a time; you are on Rosuvastatin 40mg, you are about to go on PCSK-9, we will do another set of labs after 6 weeks of PCSK-9, and then we can do Zetia.

One thing to keep in mind is that rosuvastatin is linked to inreased CAC scores as it calcifies and densifies the plaques. Helpfull being on the max dose of 40 mg/day may see that. I think that also happened to me, on 20 mg/day rosuvastatin my score jumped from 545 in 2012 to 1124 in 2021. I’ve reduced the dose to 10 mg/day (low LDL is linked to higher all-cause mortality, dementia, cataracts) and for three years eat low carb healthy fat, much like you. I think you are right that triglycerides are a problem. Fingers crossed.
