What is Cardiac Scoring?
The Calcium Scoring Exam is used as a screening tool in the evaluation of coronary artery disease. Calcium Scoring quantifies the total load of calcified (hardened) plaque in the coronary arteries based upon the volume and density of calcified plaque. It then compares that score to a large reference population matched to the patient’s age and sex. This exam can be used as a valuable tool in conjunction with other clinical risk factors such as family history, cholesterol level, lipid profile, etc. to help your physician determine how to best manage patients with coronary artery disease. However, it is not intended to replace your usual routine doctor’s evaluations
