$49 Heart Scan

A heart scan, also known as a coronary calcium scan, uses computerized tomography (CT) to detect calcium deposits in your coronary arteries. A higher coronary calcium score suggests a higher chance of significant narrowing in the coronary arteries and a higher risk of heart attack. The scan uses low-dose X-rays and no contrast dye.

Who should get a heart scan?

Anyone age 35-70, and those who are at increased risk for heart disease but do not have symptoms. People at increased risk include those with the following traits:

Family history of heart disease
Past or present smoker
History of high cholesterol, diabetes, or high blood pressure
Overweight
Inactive lifestyle
