ServiciosCoronary Calcium Score

The Coronary Calcium Score is a non-invasive, quick and painless diagnostic test that quantifies the presence of calcium in the heart arteries. It is performed using a non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scan and interpreted by a cardiologist.

This score reflects the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis, a disease that increases the risk of myocardial infarction, angina and heart failure. Therefore, the calcium score is a key tool for cardiovascular risk stratification in asymptomatic patients with cardiovascular risk factors.
