A member asked:
If a person has 2 vessels which shows an overall 37.5 calcium score is there anything to follow up on other than reducing cholesterol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be harmless: Vessels often calcify without any atherosclerosis. Another entity called Monckeberg's can be a mimic and it is harmless. Just do the sensible stuff. Exercise, don't smoke, eat sensibly recognizing food choices are less important than pop wisdom dictates. Lad you are interested in a long healthy life.
