Cardiac Calcium Score: The Quick Heart Scan That Could Save Your Life
You can feel healthy, exercise regularly and eat well — and still have plaque building up in your heart's arteries.
On this episode of All Things Heart, we explain the cardiac calcium score, also known as a CardioScore. This quick, noninvasive scan can detect calcium deposits in the coronary arteries, helping doctors assess the risk of coronary artery disease before symptoms appear.
We also explore a community effort to help more people access this important heart screening.
Learn why knowing your heart health matters — even when you feel perfectly fine.
