People on Statin should not take this test. Will give you anxiety for no reason especially you are on Statin for a while. Statin increase calcium score 20 to 30% per year. Read
“ how statins can increase calcium scores while reducing cardiac risk” in very well health.com
And also read
“ the annual rate of coronary artery calcification with combination therapy with a PCSK9 inhibitor and a statin is lower than that statin mono therapy “ in nature.com

Totally agree. Unfortunately I didn’t know this before I had the test. Thank you for the reading suggestions!

I disagree.

Why would information that can be related, not be useful? Sure CAC will likely go up in statins, but the level is still useful.
