What is a Cardiac Calcium Scoring?
Cardiac calcium scoring is a noninvasive CT scan of the heart that tests your risk of heart disease by measuring calcium levels that indicate plaque buildup in the arteries. Plaque can begin building up in the arteries before symptoms of heart disease become apparent, so a cardiac calcium score can be used for early detection of coronary artery disease or other heart disease risk factors. If calcium is detected in the arteries, then atherosclerosis (narrowing and stiffening of the arteries) has already begun.
What Can You Expect During Your Cardiac Calcium Scoring?
Before your test, you will be asked to wear a medical gown and remove any jewelry from your neck and chest area. An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) will be used to help guide your calcium scoring, so you will have small, painless electrodes placed on your chest. The EKG will monitor your heartbeat and allow the technician to take x-ray images of the heart between beats, when the muscle is relaxed. Your body will be inside a CT scanner, but your head will remain outside the whole time. The whole procedure should only take between 10 - 15 minutes.

What did you like most about using MDsave?
Nothing
What could we do to improve?
Stop the incessant phone calls harassing me to purchase. It's clear that my hospital gave you my contact information without my permission and probably violated HIPAA. Was given inaccurate information by both hospital and MD save. Will not use either again in the future.

What could we do to improve?
I'm not sure, it was much easier than I anticipated. Quick easy steps to purchase the test voucher. Then you provided me with the test lab phone number, so I didn't even have to look for it. Walked in the the lab gave them the voucher and prescription with some normal information and I was done with the test and out in under an hour.
