I had a CT Coronary Calcium Score test last week which showed a score of 239 in LAD, 0 in Left Main, 0 in Left Circumflex and 1 in Right Coronary Artery. My GP has immediately put me on a daily low dose asprin and 20mg Crestor and has requested I have a Mycocardial Perfusion Scan and intends for me to see a cardiologist who he says may do an angiogram and possible stent. I am male, almost 60, 5'11, 92kgs and have a good diet (losts of fruit and veges with little deep fried) although I do not exercise as much as I should. My cholesterol has always been normal and although I was on BP tablets many years for about 8 years I have not been on these for over 8 years since losing weight and my BP is generally stable at 120/80. I am concerned at the prognosis for this condition and whether this is manageable and if it will impact my longevity. Any advice and insight would be greatly appreciated.
