At Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare, we believe in proactive care. Cardiac Calcium Scoring is a non-invasive test that helps detect early signs of coronary artery disease — even before symptoms appear. By measuring calcium buildup in the arteries of the heart, this test provides valuable insight into your risk for heart attack or other heart-related issues, empowering you and your provider to take early action to protect your heart.
A cardiac calcium score is obtained through a specialized CT scan that identifies and measures calcium deposits in your coronary arteries. The higher the calcium score, the greater your risk of heart disease.
This test is especially beneficial for adults who:
The procedure is quick, painless and requires no special preparation. Once the scan is complete, your provider will review the results with you and help determine the best next steps to reduce your risk and protect your heart.
Expert, Compassionate Care: Our team of cardiologists, nurses and imaging specialists provides one-on-one guidance and support, ensuring your test experience is seamless and informative.
Convenient, Community-Based Access: You can receive this advanced screening closer to home, avoiding long travel or delays.
Integrated Heart Care: Your calcium score is part of a larger picture of your heart health. We work closely with primary care providers and specialists in Cardiology, Cardiopulmonary Rehab and Vascular Services to ensure you receive a personalized, comprehensive plan.
Peace of Mind and Prevention: Early detection allows for lifestyle changes, medication management and monitoring that can dramatically lower your risk for future cardiac events.
