I appreciate your responses. You are on the good side of things score wise and living your best life possible by exercising and changing your diet. I am 63 and play tennis 2/3 times a week, no dairy unless is low fat cottage cheese, no red meat. I have joined the gym basically for swimming twice to three times a week and use of treadmill for 1/2 hour each time. Tomorrow I meet a 2nd cardiologist's opinion and hoping it is someone who has options as opposite of a "stent procedure only solution". Currently taking 1 statin x10mg p/day with a CAC score of 1525. Have friends and relatives who have stents from long time ago and they don't even think about them and that fact makes me wonder if I should go for that. I want to be worry free but then again I don't want an invasive procedure BUT then again I have a high CAC. I will definitely want my heart stress tests done before anything and see where to go from there but because my mind has a divided opinion I am open minded for an angiogram. I will write more after tomorrow's conversation with the doctor.

Yes please keep us posted. Good luck.

Are you aware that all animal products (chicken, fish, eggs, all meats, dairy) contain cholesterol? A whole food plant based low fat diet has been proven to be beneficial. Your body also produces cholesterol.
