A member asked:
I have had a complete cardiac screening recently echo,crp, lipid panel, stress test, lipoproteins, all normal accept a cardiac calcium score of 150 still having chest discomfort?

A calcium score of 150 is abnormal and suggests an increased coronary artery disease risk and may be seen despite all the test results you provide. The score is an indicator of risk and a signal for one to follow the usual precautions, i.e. good diet, exercise, cessation of smoking etc. A full discussion of other steps is required with your cardiologist.
