Hmmm ... your CAC was obviously high, but why would you start taking a statin when you were 39 years old ... you only recently had the CAC test?

Do you any data from your stress test? It was not a stress test with echo, right? You should have had some form of data - METS, Duke score, etc? What level did you get your heart?

Your HDL (good cholesterol) is pretty low - has it always been this low?
