Detect the risk of heart attack or stroke early with the premium CT calcium score test
Why undergo the test?
Calcium deposited in the blood vessels is associated with the development of atherosclerosis, which can lead to myocardial infarction or stroke. The calcium score helps detect the risk before any symptoms appear and allows preventive measures to be initiated in time.
Who is the test suitable for?
The examination is intended for people aged 40 to 75 who do not yet have any symptoms of heart disease, but who also have at least one of the following risk factors:
- Family history of cardiovascular disease
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Elevated cholesterol levels
- Overweight or obesity
- Smoking
- Chronic or cumulative stress
- Lack of exercise (sedentary lifestyle)
When is the examination not recommended?
The calcium score is intended primarily as a preventive examination, i.e. for early detection of risk in people who do not yet have any problems. If someone has already been diagnosed with ischemic heart disease (IHD) or is experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations, it is advisable to undergo a more detailed and targeted examination.
How is the examination performed?
The examination takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes and is performed using CT, and no contrast agent is used. You will receive the results immediately, and since it is an outpatient examination, hospitalization is not required. If the results show a higher risk, we will arrange an appointment at a specialized workplace where you will be examined in more detail.
