Hypercalcemia is not usually related to dietary calcium intake and the research you mentioned is observational and should be taken with a grain of salt.The problem is calcium consumption. MK-7 can theoretically prevent calcium from building up in your arteries to an extent, but ultimately your body HAS to reduce calcium levels in the blood. Your heart functions through a calcium osmotic reaction. If calcium is too high, your heart stops working.
The real issue is your body does this primarily by putting calcium in your bones. Once your osteoblast cells are depleted, that's when the trouble starts and by then there isn't much you can do besides dramatically reducing calcium intake. Calcification of arteries begins to intensify in older age because people have osteoporosis due to having no osteoblast cells left.
Unfortunately, despite clear epidemiological studies that correlate heart attacks with calcium consumption (say, Sweden vs Japan), most people think consuming tons of calcium actually is a good thing when it's a significant public health hazard. Then there is the quantity of dairy products in the west, which doesn't help.
