Heart disease doesn’t play fair. It’s often silent until…it’s not. For millions, the first sign of trouble is a heart attack—one that could have been prevented. CT calcium scoring is the solution. This non-invasive test is a life-changer, giving you a clear picture of your heart’s health long before symptoms appear.

What Is CT Calcium Scoring?

CT calcium scoring is a specialized scan that measures the amount of calcified plaque in your coronary arteries. Plaque buildup is a warning sign of heart disease, and this scan provides a “calcium score” to help gauge your risk. Think of it as a heart health report card. It doesn’t just tell you where you stand—it gives you the knowledge to act.

• Zero is the score you want. The gold standard—no detectable plaque.
• Higher scores mean higher risk, indicating the urgency for lifestyle changes or medical intervention.

Why Are Your Numbers So Important?

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming 17.9 million lives each year. But the bittersweet truth is that much of it’s preventable. CT calcium scoring offers a critical early warning, flagging issues before they escalate into something life-threatening.

If you have risk factors like a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or smoking, this scan can be a literal lifesaver. And even if you feel perfectly fine, don’t let that fool you—many people with significant plaque buildup experience no symptoms until it’s too late. That’s the silent killer at work.
