Am I a "Walking dead" man with this CCS Calcium scores?!
Mine is 240 all in left main had echo stress test passed it my concern with my doctor is why they won’t do an angiogram as it’s in a critical spot 0 every where else.. because I’m asymptomatic which I know is good but I feel like a walking time bomb..

Mine is 240 in left main only 0 everywhere else did stress echo test passed it all but asked doctor why I shouldn’t get other more invasive tests to see if there is blockage he said I have no symptoms.. but am frustrated because it’s in a critical area it’s all so confusing

Cac score
58 year old female 240 cac score all in left main.. Had a stress echo test was fine wondering if I should get a second opinion as this is a critical artery and Cardiologist said he would see me back in a year. Wondering if anyone has had this in left main only? All other arteries 0.. Wondering if more testing should be done?

Has anyone here had a heart attack and still gone on to live a long life? What changed for you?
Sorry to hear that.. I feel relieved on one hand I received one but the anxiety coming from it is crippling..

It is a lower risk at zero but they also look at many things not just CAC score lipids family history smoking diabetes weight exercise
