Sounds like you had a pretty good diet growing up in Peru. What is your calcium score?
A friend of mine had a zero score but further tests showed major blockages and needed a triple bypass.
It all seems so confusing.

Actually, no. The soft plaques apparently calcify over time, with various factors affecting the speed of this, including heredity.

If the soft plaques are so significant, or they don't calcify, the probability of breaking off and causing heart and other issues due to the blockages.

I'm assuming your friend had symptoms, blood work, stress test, etc which indicated intervention?
