What is the significance of calcified plaque build-up, and the Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score available from INNER IMAGING?
Coronary calcified plaque build-up is an indicator of heart disease. This is commonly called “hardening of the arteries.” At INNER IMAGING, we will provide you with a “CAC” score that measures the total amount of calcium deposits found in your coronary arteries, based on size and density. For all age groups, the higher the score, the greater the risk of coronary disease. This information will provide your doctor with the vital information needed to determine the next steps in your health maintenance and life extension program.
