The good news is that you had a Heart Scan and know exactly what you are dealing with. Another factor that gives a false positive on a stress test is the "Glagov effect." We discussed that earlier. 80mg is one hell of a Statin dose. Especially for Crestor. And I would strongly advise you to add QoC10 to your pills to stop the muscle pain that will appear with that dosage of statin. The most important thing is to get your weight down to a 25BMI. How are you doing on your diet?
