Find Your Risk for Heart Disease with Discounted Heart Screening

Last Updated:

A simple calcium score test may predict heart disease before symptoms arise – lowering your risk of a heart attack.

A calcium score test is used to detect calcium deposits found in atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary arteries. More coronary calcium means more coronary atherosclerosis, suggesting a greater likelihood of significant narrowing somewhere in the coronary system and a higher risk of future cardiovascular events.

Risk Factors

Your doctor uses the calcium-score screening heart scan to evaluate the risk for future coronary artery disease. Those at increased risk include individuals with the following traits:

• Family or personal history of coronary artery disease.
• Male over 45 years of age or female over 55 years of age.
• Smoker – past or present.
• History of high cholesterol, diabetes, or high blood pressure.
• Overweight.
• Inactive lifestyle.
