Hi there,
A cardiac calcium score of 1105 is considered high. It is an indicator of having a high risk for ischemic heart disease and atherosclerosis.
I suggest to run cardiac angiogram or angiography for further evaluation.
Meanwhile, I advise to make changes in your lifestyle and diet regimen to reduce the risk for atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease.
