How long does a person usually live with coronary artery calcification?

The survival time of coronary calcification is related to the specific condition of the patient and there is no definite value. Coronary calcification refers to foci of calcification that occur as a result of calcium ion deposition in the coronary arteries. If the examination reveals the problem of coronary artery calcification, then it means that coronary atherosclerosis may be present in the patient’s body. The duration of this disease is related to the severity of the calcification. If the patient is able to intervene in the early stages of the disease and improve daily care, then it usually does not have an impact on life expectancy. However, if the condition is severe and some complications have already occurred, such as acute myocardial infarction, then it is very likely to be life-threatening and may even die at any time. Therefore, patients should strictly follow the doctor’s instructions for their treatment, take some drugs, such as aspirin, clopidogrel, etc., and pay attention to a light diet, and actively control blood glucose and blood pressure, so as to prolong life.
