I have a very high calcium score. What next?

You might want to further investigate that claim as I haven't seen any definitive proof that K2 (MK-7) can remove or regress calcium, I remember reading a study posted from the American Heart Association about that recently so here it is. I think the goal with a high CAC score is to stabilize soft plaque with statins which in turn actually increases calcium buildup, but the calcification seems to be more stable then that gooey stuff that breaks off and causes all sorts of trouble.

Thank you for your reply and for the feedback. I read the article which deals with the heart valve. Fortunately, I don’t have that issue. I have only one artery with a cholesterol issue, the LAD. All of my tests, and they were extensive, showed a heart working well especially for a female my age — no symptoms. I’ll continue to watch for additional research and info for K2 and heart disease. In the meantime, I’ll follow my doctor’s recommendation. It can’t hurt.
