Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Greetings - I had a heart scan the other day and got some bad results. My overall calcium score was 544.01. When I talked with my Family Physician, I didn t ask a question that I now have. I was kind of in shock at the time to find out I was in the 78th percentile based on MESA database. My score consisted of Left Main 29.43; LAD 387.34; Left circumflex 0; RCA 127.24. Is it common for one number to be significantly higher than the others?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your details are not correct. Are you talking about %age blockage of coronary arteries or calcium score? Both have different values. Please scan your report and send it to me or call me on my no 9811680903.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
