Cardiac scoring

Cardiac scoring is a pain-free, non-invasive, inexpensive procedure requiring less than ten minutes. The amount of calcified plaque detected in your coronary arteries is used to establish your coronary calcium score.

Are you a candidate?

Those who would benefit from a cardiac scoring test include:

  • Men over 45 years old and women over 55 years old
  • Smokers
  • Patients with diabetes
  • Family history of stroke or heart disease
  • Overweight by 10 pounds or more
  • High cholesterol or blood pressure patients
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Anyone concerned about their risk for heart disease
What will I learn from the test?

The score, based on age, gender and other risk factors, strongly indicates your risk for coronary artery disease. Your physician can use this information to recommend the appropriate treatment, including diet and lifestyle changes, medication and/or further testing.

Is it cost-efficient?

The cardiac calcium screening is priced at $45, which includes cardiologist interpretation.
