Calcium Scoring
A SIMPLE HEART SCAN COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE.
Monument Health Rapid City, Custer and Lead-Deadwood Hospitals now offer a calcium scoring scan in partnership with the National Heart Health Program.
A calcium scoring scan is a 10-minute CT scan that requires no needles, prep or recovery time. This scan can detect heart disease early enough to take preventative measures to reduce the risk of a heart attack.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. This calcium score scan can help determine if a patient is at a high risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) which can lead to a heart attack.
WHO SHOULD HAVE THIS SCAN?
If you are 40-75 years of age with one of more heart disease risk factors: high blood pressure, family history of heart disease, obesity or tobacco use.
