Hi Friends
I’m trying to figure something out but Dr Google isn’t helping much because it’s full of contradictions and my cardiologist isn’t really answering my questions in a way that makes any sense.
Got a very high CAC score 944, and CAD in 5 arteries. Mild to moderate. No procedures at this point.
1) Is there anyone out there that has a moderate/high CAC score WITHOUT narrowings/blockages or for most of us with CAD do the 2 go together ?
2) My LAD is around 700 and long section of moderate disease. As I take high dose statins this disease will calcify which I understand is a good thing, but the artery will harden more and more at the same time. Does this hardening/narrowing of already hardened arteries actually block blood flow or just turn it into a stiffer “pipe” which we can live with for some time / many years or is this combination CAD and high CAC nailed on for an intervention?
3) Finally. I have seen many articles about reversing calcification. K2 Mk7/vit D+ calcium, chelation, high vit C etc etc etc Assuming regression of CAC was even possible, would we want to ? Surely we would just be disrupting the process of soft plaque calcification or disrupting already calcified safe plaque ?
I’d be most interested in any opinions out there…looking for a genius ! if you have answers to any of these questions.
Praying for all of your good health and peace of mind
