A quick, painless CT scan that measures calcified plaque in your coronary arteries. This test helps determine your true risk of heart attack—even when cholesterol and other labs seem normal. It’s one of the most predictive tools available for spotting early heart disease in people without symptoms.
We schedule you at a trusted imaging center for a quick, non-invasive CT scan. You’ll lie still for just a few minutes—no needles, no contrast dye. Your calcium score is calculated and reviewed with Dr. Saha, helping determine your true risk for future cardiac events.
Your calcium score reveals plaque buildup in your arteries—often before symptoms or abnormal labs appear. This early insight helps you and Dr. Saha assess true heart disease risk and make personalized decisions about medications, lifestyle changes, or further testing. It’s prevention rooted in visible evidence.
Calcium Score (CAC)
A fast, non-invasive CT scan measuring hidden plaque buildup—predicting your risk of heart attack before symptoms appear.
If you’re over 40, have risk factors like high cholesterol or blood pressure, or a family history of heart disease, consider this scan. It’s especially useful for early screening, particularly if you have risk factors.
We schedule a non-invasive CT scan at a trusted imaging center. You’ll lie still for a few minutes—no needles or dye required. Your calcium score is calculated and reviewed with Dr. Saha, helping assess your true heart disease risk and guiding next steps in prevention.
A high calcium score means plaque is already forming in your arteries—even without symptoms. Early detection allows Dr. Saha to intervene with medication, lifestyle adjustments, or further testing, helping reduce your heart attack risk before it becomes critical. It’s a powerful predictor for future cardiac events.
This scan uses low-dose radiation, similar to a mammogram—minimal risk for most adults. No dye or injections are involved. No fasting is needed. Wear comfortable clothes, and avoid caffeine or smoking before the test for accurate readings. Dr. Saha will explain your score and next prevention steps.
Dr. Saha will review your calcium score and explain what it means for your heart risk. Based on results, she may recommend lifestyle changes, medication, or further evaluation.
