Wow! Did I need to hear that! I am an older RN, who recently attended a luncheon and received the opportunity to have a complimentary calcium score and was utterly shocked to find I have a score of 1800! I’m asymptomatic and I’ve been on a statin for years. My recent cholesterol total was 170, LDL 98 and HDL 68. Thanks for the explanation!

My GP has told me numerous times he has patients in his 90s with CAC scores in the 1000s with no cardiac events. Keep on the statin and keep that plaque stabilized.
