CAC score 14 is the 84th %tile for 55yo woman! Calcified plaque is late stage plaque, she likely has non calcified plaque as well (not captured by CAC) amenable to regression if treated now. Given young age, has lot of life yrs at risk. Would treat with statin, aim for LDLC<70 & apoB<70. Check Lp(a)
