What does a cardiac calcium score measure?

Plaque is a build-up of substances which can narrow the arteries or close off blood flow to the heart. When plaque begins to harden, it becomes calcified. A cardiac calcium score uses a CT scanner to take a picture of your heart and main arteries to see if any calcium deposits have formed.

Will it hurt?

Absolutely not. There are no needles involved in the procedure. And at only $59, not even your wallet will feel a sting.

How long will it take?

The whole procedure from start to finish takes about 15-20 minutes, but most of that time is for registering and completing paperwork. You’re only lying down on the CT scanner for less than five minutes, and the actual “procedure” takes place in less than one second…literally a single heartbeat.

How can I schedule my procedure?
