Noninvasive diagnostics
Are you at risk?
Millions of Americans are affected by heart disease each year. Unfortunately, many people are at risk for coronary artery disease and other heart problems and may not know it.
Through the efforts of Dr. James Malpeso, our Associate Director, The Heart Institute works to help patients learn early on if they’re at risk for a sudden heart attack, through a simple test called calcium scoring.
If you’re diabetic or have any two of the following additional risk factors, you could be at risk for a sudden heart attack and should know your calcium score:
- Over 40 years of age
- Family history of heart disease
- High cholesterol
- Past or present smoker
- High blood pressure
Take this simple test to calculate your risk.
