Did you know a simple 15-minute CAT scan can reveal calcium buildup in your heart’s arteries?

A coronary calcium score is a powerful early warning tool — but it’s just the beginning. Calcium signals that plaque has been building up, and plaque means blockages. Left untreated, those blockages can restrict blood flow and even lead to a heart attack.

The good news? Plaques can actually shrink with the right treatment. Tackling elevated cholesterol is key — the less cholesterol circulating in your bloodstream, the less that ends up in your artery walls.

Knowledge is power when it comes to your heart health. Talk to your doctor about whether a coronary calcium score, or a CT angiogram for a deeper look, is right for you!
