A member asked:

No, those vascular changes are common findings on CT scan. You do not need to see a specialist for that. To delay the progression of atherosclerotic vascular disease you need to be active, eat healthy diet (low salt, low saturated fat diet), keep BMI less than 25 if possible, and avoid high blood pressure.
