Ask the doctor. I have had CT scans of my coronary arteries as part of several annual physicals. They show my arteries have a lot of calcium--I am now in the 89th percentile for calcium scores. My stress tests and echocardiograms are normal, so are my blood pressure and cholesterol, and I feel fine. Should I have an angiogram to confirm the calcification?
