Coronary Calcium Scoring Explained
The calcium score turns invisible risk into a number: zero suggests very low near-term risk, while rising scores stratify who needs statins or further testing. It's a five-minute scan with outsized decision value.
Who Should Prioritize Heart Screening
Family history of early heart disease, smokers or former smokers, hypertension or high cholesterol, or simply men over 45 / women over 55 establishing a baseline.
Common Questions
Is the calcium score CT safe?
It's a low-radiation, non-contrast scan taking minutes — among the highest information-per-risk tests in screening.
Can cardiac screening be added to an executive package?
Yes — it's the most common add-on pairing; mention it at booking.
Do I need to stop caffeine before the stress test?
Usually yes for 12–24 hours — exact instructions arrive with your booking confirmation.
What if my score is high?
Cardiology consultation follows with clear next steps — usually medication and lifestyle guidance, sometimes further imaging.
