High calcium score: I'm in shock

jkluv7, thanks so much for reply. Exactly what you said in your post is where I am going - sooner than later. Last week was second visit with "renown" cardiologist and I did press for his thoughts on supplements, especially D3 K2 MK4 MK7 (and maybe Niacin) , I was fearing doing more harm than good, but cardiologist did not say "no." He would rather me take one step at a time, first statin up to 40mg, second is PCSK-9, third would be Zetia, then there is no more left - TRUE? While measuring LP(a) and particle sizes. What I really want is for cardiologist to go in invasively, stent or bypass as needed, taking the 1 in 1,000 risk I through a clot or worse, and do everything you and others have said here.

jkluv7, my second visit to my cardiologist resulted in nothing. Stay on 40mg statin. My particle count came back from lab. I am Pattern B high risk. Too many small lipids. I am now on PCSK-9. My LDL-C was measured at 18, then 27. With the particle count now at hand, cardiologist now calculates my LCL at 110. That's why I am now on PCSK-9. Where can I find backup information, scholarly papers, studies showing D3 and K are safe to take with PCSK-9 and statins? I want to restart my supplements, about 20 in all.

Personally, I REFUSE statins. They do nothing based on the studies which were hidden from the public. If a doctor is not working on your diet and supplements and only prescribing drugs, then he is a drug-pusher, not a doctor. Niacin is no good... too toxic. The first CAC I got was 3,600. Two years later I got it down to 2,200. I am getting another CAC this June and want to see it in the 1 thousands. D3 and K2 do not collide with any of his drugs.
