Excuse my ignorance but what does '24 calcium score in my LDA without stenosis' mean?

Hi, calcium score 24 means how much calcium there is in my artery, an stenosis means narrowing of the artery

They haven't told me how much was in my artery, there must have been a lot as they had to drill it. I never knew there correct terms before.

My fiancé was given a calcium score of well over 2000 so if the same scale was used for yours I’m guessing yours is pretty good? (He had stenosis too.)

I’d ask your doctor to clarify if your not sure.
