The calcium score test, also known as a coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, measures the amount of calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. These deposits, known as plaque, can indicate an increased risk of heart disease.
Procedure:
The test is non-invasive and involves a low-dose CT scan of the heart.
You will lie on a table and a scanner will take multiple images of your coronary arteries.
The scan takes about 10 minutes.
Results:
The calcium score is expressed as a number (0-400+).
A higher score indicates more plaque in the arteries.
The score is interpreted based on factors such as age, gender, and other risk factors for heart disease.
Interpretation:
A score of 0-10 indicates a low risk of heart disease.
A score of 11-100 indicates a moderate risk.
A score of over 100 indicates a high risk of heart disease.
Benefits:
The calcium score test can help identify individuals at risk for heart disease early on.
It can guide treatment decisions, such as lifestyle changes, medications, or surgery.
Limitations:
The calcium score test does not detect all types of plaque.
A high score does not always mean that a person will develop heart disease.
Recommendation:
Discuss with your doctor if a calcium score test is appropriate for you based on your age, risk factors, and symptoms.
