Step 2: CT SCAN AND CALCIUM SCORE

If your online evaluation shows you are at risk for cardiovascular disease, a St. Joseph Heart Institute staff coordinator will call you (with your permission) and encourage you to visit your physician, or offer you a more detailed screening test using a CT scan and calcium score. Calcium scoring measures calcium buildup on artery walls and is a highly reliable predictor of heart disease. To help as many people as possible have the CT scan screening, St. Joseph Medical Center offers it for a special reduced cost of $90.
