My CAC score from years of taking A, D3, K2, and magnesium
My doc was worried about my cholesterol AND suggested statins. But he was nice enough to have my heart MRI done to measure the assumed dreaded calcium build up.
“CT CARDIAC SCORING – Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Score. DATE: 6/20/2019
HISTORY: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk stratification.
AGE: 67 years GENDER: Male
FINDINGS: Calcium score: Left main: 0 LAD: 0 LCX: 0 RCA: 0 Total: Score: 0
Agatston’s Score: 0
Plaque burden: No identifiable atherosclerotic plaque. Risk: Very low.
Probability of significant CAD: Very unlikely.” “Pericardium: Normal.
Extra-coronary calcification: No calcification Aortic Valve: No calcification.
Thoracic Aorta: No calcification. Mitral Annulus: No calcification.”
“IMPRESSION:1. Calcium Score: 0 2. This represents very low risk for future cardiac events.
3. 10th percentile. 90% of patients of similar age, sex and race have a higher calcium score. “
This was the first CAC I ever had, but I’ve been eating natto (full of K2) since 2013 and supplementing D3, at 4,000IU/day, for a decade and a half. I upped the D3 to 10,000 after watching the Vieth lecture, and then up to 15,000 to keep the viruses at bay.
