Step 1: Find Out If You Have Hidden Plaque
Getting your coronary calcium score with an EBT or MDCT scanner is step 1 in your
personal Track Your Plaque program. EBT and MDCT technologies offer a safe,
convenient, and relatively inexpensive method of quantifying calcium in the
coronary arteries. A heart scan is non-invasive, takes only 10 minutes, and
can be given while you remain comfortably in your street clothes.
The calcium score provided by this test gives you an extremely reliable gauge of the plaque present in your coronary arteries, something no other test - even a stress test - can do. The higher the calcium score, the greater the quantity of plaque in your coronary arteries, and the higher the risk for heart attack and other cardiac catastrophes. The coronary calcium score can therefore be used as a yardstick for your coronary plaque. It can also be tracked for its increase, stabilization, or decrease allowing you to tailor your treatment for optimum results. Click here to locate a Heart Scan Center near you and schedule an appointment to get your heart scan. It is painless, takes only ten minutes, and you stay in your street clothes. Your "calcium score" will be needed in Step 3 in order to develop a Personal Heart Health Program tailored to your unique needs.
