Is a calcium score of nearly 2500 REALLY high?

My fiancé is seeing his GP tomorrow as his Doppler test a few weeks ago showed a possible issue in his left leg (looks like severely reduced blood flow.)

His calcium score was nearly 2500 - and apparently puts him in the top 99 percentile, but that was before his bypass....I’m guessing this really isn’t good? (At the time the whole thing was such a shock we didn’t really pay attention to the figures.)

Has anyone else had a calcium score that’s so high? Or does anyone know if this means all his arteries are likely to be effected (am guessing it’s unlikely that it’s “just” the ones in his heart that have so much calcium?)

Thank you
