Cardiac Calcium Scoring

You can get a cardiac calcium score alone or as part of the heart screen. A cardiac calcium score is a fast, painless and non-invasive CT scan. It can detect the presence, location and extent of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries - and therefore your risk of heart attack within the next two to five years.

Cardiac Calcium Scoring is recommended for postmenopausal women and people who have:

  • Family history of heart disease
  • History of smoking or are currently a smoker
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Obesity
  • Diabetes
  • Sedentary lifestyle

To request a referral for a cardiac calcium score talk to your doctor.
