Calcium in the hart
by JANBOB, Feb 05, 2009 08:47PM
My father had a ct scan of the heart today and was told that calcium deposits were found. He also was told that his kidneys are not functioning properly so a previous scheduled angiogram was not performed. What causes the calcium deposits and how serious of an illness is this for him? He is 65 yrs old and never asks questions.

I think his kidney issue is probably more important right now , as long as he is not having severe chest pain. I have a ton of calcium in my heart right now and am functioning ok and I am 20 years younger then your dad. A lot of people are walking around right now with calcium in their coronary arterys ( and they have no clue its there unless they get a test like this one your father had ) , I guess it all depends how much is there and is it blocking blood flow to his heart. Good luck to your dad.
