Is This CT Calcium Test Report Result Anything Serious?
I had a ct calcium test done and received a score of 1334. The report said there are extensive coronary artery calcifications seen throughout the left anterior descending and right coronary arteries as well as the PDA. Cannot get into a cardio doctor for 2 weeks. Is this anything serious?? Should I try to see a doctor before 2 weeks? Thank you so much. Very worried about this. Becky Nash

Hi..welome to hcm
Calcifcations in the your case could be age related.it may lead to heart failure if not treated at the earliest.so also monitor blood pressure regularly ..Any sudden decrease in BP and dizzy spells shoud be attended immediately.consult your cardiologist for expert management.thankyou
