Just got a CCTA and my cac score is 0.6.

I didn't know you can get a CAC score between 0 and 1.

44 year old, my LDL is usually around 70 (however sometimes I get higher numbers closer to 90 but I used to be a vegetarian for a while and back then it was 52). So I'm not someone who has genetically high LDL.

I just got tested for reassurance and they did see some millimeter size calcium deposits in two arteries without any narrowing. But one other artery had a 20% narrowing somewhere which they said is not important at this point.

I'm a heavy exerciser and 99% of the time I watch my diet but I did have high blood pressure since the age of 20 and I'm on losartan since then. So I already had one metabolic risk factor for 24 years. I was hoping for 0 CAC score but instead I got 0.6. My cardiologist was not worried at all since looking at the scan he said this picture is not a bad angio result, if it stays like this nothing in this picture can kill you. So he started me on 10mg lipitor, which I was hesitant at first but I'll try for a while and see if I get side effects. I'm doing lots of training and I really wouldn't want muscle soreness resulting in less training but for once I'll trust him and try the statin.
