What is a Coronary Calcium Score?
A calcium score is a simple 5 minute CT Scan that checks for calcium deposits in your heart's arteries. More calcium = more plaque buildup = higher risk of heart disease.
Getting your Calcium Score is best for:
- Adults age 40-70
- Those who have high blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Family history of heart disease
A score of Zero (0) means you have a very low 10 year risk
A score above Zero (0) gives you the opportunity to take action early
Don't wait for symptoms to appear to begin taking care of your heart. This fast, accurate and painless test could help you prevent heart disease or help you identify potential problems and get in front of them.
