I had a CT for a slow healing fractured clavicle and it noted coronary artery calcifications present. Follow up CAC scoring test number was over 2200. shocking to doctor and to me as I am very fit, and asymptomatic. I do have heart history in family. How can I be so active, for so long, with a number this high? Was on simvastin prior and now on Crestor, plus aspirin and have stress test this week. Advice welcomed as worried .
