A member asked:
What does artherosclerotic calcifacations at the bifurcation and into the right common iliac artery? is it something to worry about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PAD/PVD; yes: Atherosclerotic calcification refers to arteries plugged w/calcified cholesterol plaques. Because this occurred in arteries to legs, it means you have peripheral artery/vascular disease. This also means you probably have some blockage in your heart (coronary arteries), too. Possibly even your carotids (in your neck). So yes need to be concerned about this to lower risk for heart attack, stroke etc.
