High calcium score: I'm in shock

History of high calcium score here and lots of looking at Marfan with family members. My son has pectus excavatum repair. Is yours getting worse? My understanding is the heart will take the space it needs and shortchange the lungs. IDK? Have you had your heart tests yet? I hope they provide you with more information that will help you understand your calcium number. So glad you are active, and now are able to pin something down to help you deal with potential situations and make them non-events!

Hi jharsh Pectus seems to be the same as it always was, pretty severe but I treat it like a badge of honor, like my other scars.
Yes, the heart figure out how to make room, hence my lung capacity is a bit lower but that's why I have to train harder and decided to do a full ironman a few years back.
Heart tests are next week with a stress pressure MRI. Results soon and I'll report back. Hopefully, we can see that the calcium has not impeded the flow of blood ot the heart and I can go about living life to its fullest like I do every day.
Thanks for the note.
