Heart Scans

Coronary calcium scans, also known as heart scans or CT angiography, provide pictures of the coronary arteries so your doctor can identify the presence of calcium in the arteries and look for blockages. The result of this test is often called a coronary calcium score.
Heart scans and coronary calcium scoring may indicate if you're at higher risk of a heart attack or other problems well before you have any outward symptoms of disease.
