Calcium Score Test
A calcium score test is a quick, noninvasive heart scan used to assess calcium buildup in the coronary arteries. The test can help with early detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) and to determine if treatment is needed to prevent further complications over time. Carient Heart and Vascular offers the calcium score test for just $75, with or without insurance, making this an advanced, cost-effective way to protect your heart health.

Who Should Get a Calcium Score Test?
You should consider a calcium score test if you’re between ages 40 and 70 and have an increased risk of heart disease due to one or more of the following factors:
- Family history of heart disease
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Obesity
- Inactive lifestyle
- Use of tobacco
What Do Calcium Scores Mean?
A normal calcium score is zero, which indicates that there is no calcification in the arteries and that you are at low risk for a heart attack. Any score above zero indicates the presence of calcification, and the higher the score, the higher the risk for CAD. Your doctor will explain your results and outline the best next steps.
How Long Does the Scan Take?
The CT scan requires no preparation and takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
