Coronary artery calcification?

I was recently sorting through some old Hospital paperwork and came across a letter dated February 2019 about a result I had from a CT scan of my chest, at the time I had a bad cough and breathing problems, thankfully all was OK.

But in this letter the Doctor also mentioned and I quote "the CT scan also shows that there's a heavy coronary artery calcification and I note that he is already taking Simvastatin".

My GP who also received a copy of this letter has never mentioned this and I am wondering if it is something that I should be worried about?

Thanks for any replies

    It seems like something you would have to speak to your doctor about. Take your vitamins and exercise and take plenty of rest. Sleep is better than magic for body and mental health.
