I got my score today and it was 580. I started a lifestyle change August, 2022 so I have no idea what the score was then. I going to continue to exercise and lose more weight. I plan to get a coronary angiogram to further document my condition. I am going to no dwell on this too much and begin to enjoy my retirement which starts June 1st! By the way, I am 65.

I wouldn't bother with a angiogram unless you are experiencing shortness of breath when exerting yourself of chest pain. There is good information about asymptomatic people who have high CAC scores here. Take a stain, quick smoking, exercise and stick to a plant based diet as much as possible:
