Calcium Score CT

What Is the Calcium Score CT? A Non-Invasive Test to Assess Heart Disease Risk

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Often, it progresses without symptoms until it leads to a heart attack or stroke. Fortunately, modern diagnostic tools such as the Calcium Score CT allow doctors to detect early signs of risk and take preventive action.

What Is the Calcium Score CT?

The Calcium Score is a specialized non-invasive CT scan that detects and measures calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. Calcium in the artery walls is a clear indicator of atherosclerosis — a condition that narrows the arteries and increases the risk of a heart attack.

The test is quick, painless, and does not require contrast injection, making it safe even for patients with other medical conditions.

What Do the Results Mean?

The result is a number — the calcium score — indicating the degree of calcification:

0 – no calcium, very low risk
1–99 – mild calcification, low-to-moderate risk
100–399 – moderate buildup, elevated risk
400+ – significant risk of a heart event

Based on this result, a doctor may recommend preventive treatment such as statins.

Who Should Consider a Calcium Score CT?

This test is especially recommended for people:

aged 40–70 with intermediate cardiovascular risk
with a family history of early heart disease
with risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, or a sedentary lifestyle
with no current symptoms but a desire to assess long-term heart health
