Coronary Calcium Score Interpretation
Based on a number of studies, the following definitions are used to relate the coronary artery calcium score to the extent of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease:
Coronary calcium score 0: No identifiable plaque. Risk of coronary artery disease very low (<5%)
Coronary calcium score 1-10: Mild identifiable plaque. Risk of coronary artery disease low (<10%)
Coronary calcium score 11-100: Definite, at least mild atherosclerotic plaque. Mild or minimal coronary narrowings likely.
Coronary calcium score 101-400: Definite, at least moderate atherosclerotic plaque. Mild coronary artery disease highly likely. Significant narrowings possible
Coronary calcium score > 400: Extensive atherosclerotic plaque. High likelihood of at least one significant coronary narrowing.

(30,613 posts)I'm only a bit younger than Pres. Turd, and honestly not a great eater, but my score is ZERO. I think it takes quite a bit of abuse to boost the score that high.

(13,869 posts)I use to do Calcium Scoring and like I said that's not a bad number.. Then again with his crappy diet I would expect something somewhere in the 1000 range or greater... Worst I ever saw was a 80 year old gent with a score of about 10,000. About an hour after the scan he was whisked off to the OR for a quad bypass.... he did not make it..
