Coronary Calcium Scoring: A Smarter Way to Prevent Heart Disease

One of the most useful tools in preventive cardiology is the Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) CT scan - a quick, painless, non-contrast, non-invasive imaging test that measures calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. CAC scoring doesn’t just give you a number; it shows how much plaque is present and helps predict a person’s real risk of a heart attack or other cardiac event.
