A heart scan is a brief CT scan that allows the measurement of calcium in the lining of the coronary arteries. Larger amounts of calcium signal greater presence of plaque overall, which can help predict the likelihood of a cardiovascular event such as a heart attack.
If you are a male 40 years or older or a female 50 years or older and have high blood pressure, are diabetic, obese, have high or borderline cholesterol, are a smoker, and/or have a family history of heart disease – then you may be a qualified candidate for a heart scan.
We do NOT recommend a heart scan if you have known heart disease, are under the care of a cardiologist or do not meet the age requirements. We can NOT scan patients with any implanted metal in the chest including, but not limited to heart stents, pacemakers, valves, or implanted electronics. Men under 40 and women under 50 years can develop coronary artery disease, however, this plaque is almost always non-calcified and cannot be detected with this screening. For this reason, children, teens, and young adults cannot be scanned. It is recommended to wait 5 years between screening heart scans unless recommended by your doctor to have one earlier.

The cost for a heart scan is $49 and is not billed through insurance. Please call for questions.
The heart scan takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. The exam is performed using a CT scanner that is gated for low radiation exposure. EKG pads will be placed on your chest and will not require the removal of clothing. The heart scan is a non-invasive procedure and completely painless.
Results will be available in MyChart within 24-48 hours. If you do not have MyChart, results will be mailed to you within 5-7 days. If your physician is a part of Community Health Network, they will be able to view the results in your medical records. Ultimately, however, it is your responsibility to follow up with any findings and further care based on the results. If you have questions after your scan, please contact your primary care physician.
At age 69, I was fit and active, spending time with my grandchildren and enjoying time outdoors. There were no indications that my heart was in trouble. However, I wanted this screening to measure the calcium build-up in my arteries, just to make sure. As it turns out, I wasn’t as healthy as I thought and this test helped save my life. —Donald Sauers, heart scan patient
