Calcium score is useful to guide statin therapy so that’s why they ordered the test. There’s more to the guidelines than just 1 test and no one is going to make you take anything but they may recommend you start a statin based on that calcium score.
Statins are not “crappy drugs”. Like most drugs they may have some side effects but they work. We know the lower your LDL, the better your mortality and statins do work on LDL. They stabilize dangerous soft plaques and decrease inflammation. The benefit in someone who truly needs to be on a statin is much better than 1% I assure you. Talk to your cardiologist and yall come up with a strategy that is in your best interest.
