Can a score of 101 on a calcium scan mean a big blockage ?

Calcium score: 10 or less----minimal calcification: low risk 11-99 -------minimal--moderate calcification higher risk 100-399----increased calcification-- higher risk > 400 significant risk > 1000 highest risk of disease it is not a recommended test for screening---other risk factors need to be considered---check with your doctor
