If you have calcified plaque that means you have soft plaque also. The soft plaque is what causes strokes and heart attacks. Statins will calcify the soft plaque making it less likely to rupture. A great book is “beat the heart attack gene” by Bradley Bale and Amy Doneen. ( Bale-Doneen method). I had a 2267 score 3 years ago and follow their advice and see a Bale-Doneen doctor. Best of luck to you.
