A Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Score is a non-invasive test that measures the amount of calcium plaque in your heart's arteries. The higher the calcium score, the greater your risk of a future heart attack. This test provides a personalized assessment of your cardiac risk, even before symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath appear. By identifying coronary artery calcium, the CAC Score enables proactive strategies to reduce the risk of heart attacks. It is ideal for asymptomatic patients, particularly those with risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease. This test is conducted at a specialist radiology center.
