Calcium in Arteries means possibility of getting heart attach or disease is more.
Coronary artery calcium scoring, also known as a heartscreen CT, is a specialized type of CT scan. During this heart screening CT scan, which takes about 20-30 seconds, the patient’s heart rate is monitored while the CT scanner acquires rapid images of the heart. Specialized software then uses the two pieces of information to construct high resolution image slices through the heart to visualize the coronary arteries.
The scans will show whether or not there is any calcification in the coronary arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart muscle. The presence of calcium in the coronary arteries is a reliable indicator of coronary artery disease which, if untreated, can progress to artery blockage and possibly to a heart attack. The data is analyzed by a radiologist using a specialized computer program that calculates the total amount of calcium present in the arteries and will give a comparison of where the patients’ coronary calcium level is relative to people of the same gender and age group. This information is then compiled into a report, which will be sent to you and your doctor.
The coronary artery calcium score is powerful predictor of future heart attack risk and can be a powerful motivator of health and lifestyle change for patients.
Please consult your cardiologist immediately to have treatments. -

Calcium in the arteries is a sign that the arteries have narrowed a little bit due to cholesterol build-up in the arteries. Over time, calcium gets deposited in the cholesterol build-up in the arteries. He must watch his diet and not eat lots of fatty food and foods high in cholesterol. Also he needs to exercise more but don't exercise too hard at any one time

Humans need for added calcium and protein is a myth. Animal products are kiling us all. Your husband can be cured in about 6 weeks, just by changing his diet.
Today we accept poor health as normal. We expect to get sick regularly, and we do. We even call sickness the 'common cold'. Colds allthough common, are not natural. Our illnesses are a product of ourselves. Sickness is not our natural state.
Animals in the wild, away from humans, live out their entire life spans free from disease. As soon as we capture one of these amazing wild animals, confine it and begin feeding it un-natural food, the diseases we are so familiar with, start showing up. Cancer, Heart Disease, Obesity, etc. all can be found in the animals that we 'care for'.
When any sick or diseased human stops eating un-naturally their immune system comes to life and heals them completely. Cancers, Heart Disease, Diabetes - Type 1 & 2, AIDS, etc. They are no match for our immune system. Our bodies produce everything we need to get and stay healthy automatically, as long as we give ourselves the proper fuel. Tens of thousands (myself included) around the world have reversed their diseases and saved their own lives by learning this most ancient truth.
Many in medicine consider keeping a cancer patient alive a few years past their first prognosis to be a great success. To them, complete reversal and perfect glowing health is not an option. They tell us our health is not in our control. They blame our genes, our environment, germs, viruses, etc. They offer only mild symptom relief and short periods of remission from the latest pill, treatment or surgery they have developed. They too suffer and die from disease. The average Doctor in fact has a 10 year shorter life span than normal.
I never thought that I would have good health. Before 2001, I had spent my whole life on medications and diets. I could set my calendar by my yearly illnesses. I was on medicine for High Blood Pressure, Hypertension and Chronic Asthma as well as taking many over-the-counter medicines daily. I had begun to have regular undiagnosed hospital stays and I was approved for a radical and irreversable stomach bypass surgery called a Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch.
I walked away from that surgery, the medicines and my Doctors and began to steadily improve my diet instead. First I went vegetarian, then vegan, and finally I became Purely Raw. Today at 41, people that I meet, can't imagine me as unhealthy, much less near death. I am living in glowing perfect health and I’ll never give it up.

You do mean calcium? if so take a look at this link. My advice is you should really speak to his doctor for a full explanation.
