Thanks for the update. So his CAC progression is:

2003: 84
2016: 176
2022: 553

Something doesn't make sense with that. He had an 8% annual increase for 13 years then a 35% annual increase for the last six years 2016-2022. So something isn't right with that.

My math is a bit different - I get about 21% give or take - doing quick multiplier year over year for six years.

Don't have the timeline on when he started statins (or, at least I surmise he did) ... but this would account for quite a bit of it?
