Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Calcification of the coronary vessels is sometimes reported when CT of chest is done. This finding is only important if you have risk for coronary heart disease like significant family history of ischemic heart disease, smoking or high LDL cholesterol. Without significant risk you should worry too much, just maintain an active lifestyle with healthy diet, take care.
