That score seems concerning and is in the widow maker heart artery.

I will ask for further testing to take a closer look as I understand a CAC score is not a definite for actual arterial blockage.
It is not definitive, but that’s usually because CT Calcium Score doesn’t show all forms of blockage and the level of actual restriction of blood flow may be better or worse than someone with same score. This is because it measures hardened plaque (calcium) not “soft” plaque that could also be restricting blood flow.
