O. I took the time to read some of your other posts .
With your family history I wouldn't rely on a CAC score to think U are home free .
CAC measures the hard /calcified plaques ...not the soft plaques which are typically more dangerous

What's really dangerous is the soft plaque, and experts estimate that there is approximately four times as much soft plaque present as hard, or calcified, plaque. When soft plaque ruptures, it's similar to having a pimple inside the artery that breaks open.


Vascepa as per the EVAPORATE trial makes these soft plaques less vulnerable to rupturing ...but I suggest you drive down your LDL cholesterol numbers closer to 50 mg/dl if possible ( stronger statin dose with Zetia and even maybe a PCSK9 )
