Yes. There could be plaques in the other blood vessels.
Please get your Ankle Brachial Index from your Doctor. That may give some more information.

NO it doesn't mean that there is a calcified plaque in ARTERIES OF heart, but there is a generalized risk of calcified plaques or as it is called atherosclerosis in various arteries of the body. Considering age, we should start anti-platelet agents and statins and look for further workup. For medicines and further counselling and guidance , do online consultation with me.
