My blood pressure has always been normal to low 120/70 . Height 175 cm ( 5ft 9in ) weight 84 kg(185 lb) . Stress test was normal but due to undiagnosed Graves’ disease at the time I became tired which is part of Graves . Thyroid removed now.
I’m in Australia and my bloods are total cholesterol 5.0 ref range < 5.6 mmol/L, triglycerides 0.6 ref range< 2.1mmol/L
HDL1.76>1.09
LDL3.0< 4.1mmol/L
Chol/HDL ratio 2.8 < 4,6
Non HDLC 3.24< 3.81 mmol/L
I only had calcium score done because a nurse I know said she had hers done because she was moving interstate and every female at age 55 is recommended to get it done . Then a friend of mine a year younger decided to get hers also and had a score of 255 but she is on blood pressure meds and statins forger high cholesterol control. She is Very slim and active but smokes which I don’t.
I have started to take a baby aspirin but I’m not on a statin. I Changed to vegetarian diet.

Though I would also add my calcium score details of 122 . Results state LAD 27 plus right conary artery 94 . Add up to 121 !!
History:
Long-term medical hormone treatment.
Technique:
Non-contrast, prospective ECG-gated, single breath-hold CT at 120 kV with 3
mm reconstructions, according to Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ) guidelines.
Report:
|I Calcium I score:
| Left main artery: | 0 |
Left anterior descending artery: | 27 |
crease
| Circumflex artery: | 0 |
Right coronary artery: 94 |

CONCLUSION:
1. The total coronary artery calcium score is 122, which is above the
75th centile for age.
2. The 10-year risk of major adverse cardiovascular events is moderately
high (15 - 20%).
