It may suggest mild coronary artery disease.

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Calcium score 126 may suggest mild coronary artery disease may be due to moderate atherosclerotic plaque.It may result in significant narrowing of vessel.
As calcium score is moderate in one of the major coronary vessel,so I suggest to go for for further evaluation like conventional angiography.It can assess exact narrowing of left descending coronary artery.
