Hi doctor, I am 47 year old male, who is hypertensive from the past seven years. I take daily medicine to control my blood pressure. I do not have any other problem. I went to my cardiologist last week, for the yearly medical checkup. My LDL is 170, HDL is 41, ECG is normal, and blood test came back normal. But, my calcium score test result is 0.4 (on the LAD minimal plaque), defined minimal risk. I could not understand this calcium score test result clearly. Do I have any risk? Do I have to use statins to reduce my cholesterol level?
