Supplements that may help support heart health, particularly with a positive Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score, include:

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3s are beneficial for heart health as they can help reduce triglycerides, the risk of arrhythmias, and slow the buildup of plaque in arteries¹². Omega-3s are primarily found in fish oil, which is a common supplement.

2. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): This supplement has been associated with reducing the risk of myocardial dysfunction and can help with statin-related muscle side effects, which may be relevant if you're managing cholesterol with medications³.

3. Vitamin D: Adequate levels have been linked to a lower risk of coronary artery disease, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation³.

4. Multivitamins: There is some evidence suggesting that multivitamin supplementation may reduce cardiovascular events, though consensus on this is not fully established³.

5. Probiotics: These supplements are gaining attention for their potential to lower blood pressure and circulating lipids, which may be beneficial for heart health³.

It's always best to discuss with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially in the context of a positive CAC score, to ensure it's appropriate for your specific health needs.
