Coronary calcium scoring

2023-11-19 06:14:03
I don't have any known heart problems and I exercise 2 to 3 times a week by playing outdoor sports . I ended up taking the coronary calcium score test (non contrast CT) as part of my health check up. I got an overall score of 52 (LMA: 0, LAD:42, LCX:6 RCA:4).  Findings: everything normal but small pleural tags noted in medial segment of right middle love and left inferior lingula. Question: For an untrained eye, it looks normal. I was wondering if there is any issue and whether I need a consultation with a cardiologist?
