Answer:
Here is your Ca-score:
A low score has little meaning and I don’t recoomend using this test as there are better alternatives.
Your risk for developing atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries or blockages) includes health factors that indicate your chance of having a cardiovascular event such as heart attack or stroke:
However, even this low Ca score means you may have some evidence of early atherosclerosis a high cholesterol. If so, you’ll have a higher risk of coronary artery disease that my cause angina and a heart attack. You can calculate this here.
At your age you should look at what it takes to live a heart-healthy life style.
Hope this helps,
