Unclear ebCT score: Not sure what "mass" or "volume" means in this context. The calcium score should be a single number. According to WebMD, 2007, a score of 11-100 means plaque is present, which means you have CAD, but you have only mild hardening in the coronary arteries. Your (lifetime) risk for heart attack is moderate (10+%). Talk with your physician about this result or use HealthTap Prime to upload the report.
