Should I get excited about it, if no one has mentioned it to me?

No. Plaques are formed by cholesterol and other substances. Calcification of the plaques occurs over time.

Blood calcium is different. It is measured when you have blood drawn.
Calcification of the arteries is basically the aging process

Blood calcium is regulated by the 4 parathyroid glands we have behind our thyroid gland.
Please “Google” parathyroid gland so you can check it out.

I had to have one removed because it caused high blood calcium levels and gave me a stroke.
