Coronary Calcium Score (CAC)

What is a Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scan?

A Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scan is a specialized CT scan that detects calcium deposits in the heart arteries, providing an early indicator of coronary artery disease before symptoms develop. Your results are given as an Agatston score, which helps our cardiologists understand your risk level and determine the most appropriate course of treatment for your heart health.
