Mine is 780 but 0 in RT Main. So other 5 arteries have a bit of calcium. I would ask for proper stress test. I have had all the tests but Contrast CT to determine amount of soft plaque which is the most important.
My contrast cardiac MRI showed heart wise everything is perfect. The fact that I ran both stress tests 5 min beyond level 3 protocol with no EKG, BP or lung gas anomalies gave me and my cardiologist a bit of comfort. My blood work has been excellent until we looked into the makeup of my LDL which showed LPa to be off the chart. So after 6 month of Statins and PCSK9 inhibitor it has come down to just a little higher than normal. So for me at age 60 it is about arresting any more artery damage.
Hopefully for me if I have soft plaque and throw it causing a heart attack - I am lucky like some folks on the forum to be near an ER and just get a stint. So I am hypersensitive to any strange pain that typically we dismiss as… oh must be the swim workout I did yesterday that is causing chest pain.
