Coronary CT scans and calcium scoring are key measures included in AGEL Plus for preventing heart problems.
A coronary CT scan with calcium scoring is recommended for clients with risk factors for coronary artery disease. The CT scan helps to detect heart conditions such as atherosclerosis even before other symptoms manifest themselves.
Risk factors for heart disease include elevated blood cholesterol levels, a family history of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, overweight or obesity, lack of exercise due to sedentary work and the like.
Why is it important to know your calcium score?
Your calcium score expresses how much calcium you have in atherosclerotic plaques in your coronary arteries. It helps to detect asymptomatic individuals at high risk of potential cardiovascular disease. Prevention and healthcare are important not just for people with high risk factors because coronary heart disease can strike even people under the age of 50.
A coronary CT scan with calcium scoring can be obtained as part of our year-round healthcare programme at our outpatient clinic in Prague.
