Heart Scan & Calcium Scoring 

Finley's Heart Scan, also known as Cardiac CT for Calcium Scoring, can detect coronary artery disease (CAD) at an early stage when symptoms may not be present. A calcium score arms individuals with important information to guide lifestyle changes and health improvements.

Finley's Heart Scan can detect tiny amounts of calcium in the arteries of the heart. The amount of calcium deposited in your arteries is directly related to your risk for heart disease. The Heart Scan is fast, painless and non-invasive. The entire examination takes less than 30 minutes.

Coronary Artery Disease 

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the nation's most common type of heart diseases. The condition is caused by plaque build up in the heart arteries. Major risk factors for CAD include:

• Age
• Family history of heart disease
• High blood cholesterol
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Cigarette smoking
• Overweight or obese
• Inactive or sedentary lifestyle

Detecting Presence of Calcium 

Finley's Heart Scan is painless and requires little advanced preparation.  Our state-of-the-art CT scanner provides images of the heart and arteries without the use of injections, needles or dye. The scanner offers low radiation exposure and short scan time while acquiring excellent image quality.  The test cannot determine how blocked an artery is but can accurately detect the presence of calcium and the associated risk of heart attack.
