Hi Ethan
My husband has an LDL of 68, total cholesterol of 168, and a Calcium Score of 3899. The doctor has suggested a stress test next. He also has MGUS That has not progressed. Is this Calcium score the MGUS progressing? Is it hart disease? He feels like a time bomb. He is overweight, drinks alcohol and doesn’t exercise. Please advise.
Thanks.

LDL and TC numbers are pretty good - CAC not so good, but not reversible so need to work to slow down.

Age?
Advanced lipids panel? (named Cardio IQ by one provider)
Had stress test?
Had echo with the stress test?
Ultrasound of extremities?
Taking statin?
Icosapent Ethyl?
